Many buildings have gone over the years. The original scout hut opposite the post office, the band hut (and the band), the car spares shop near to Ladycroft footpath, St Mary's Garage, the allotments, Greens foundry and Stanley's to name but a few. Other buildings have changed use like, the old police station, Courthouse, Griffin, Trinity Chapel, the old coop, regency (Bank House).

 

Did you go to get the papers when the shop was opposite the entrace to the school or buy groceries from Braybrook's on The Common. I once bought a bike from Cutts and fish and chips from Jones's.

 

And you went to the Doctor's on Church Street.

 

Nostalgia is a great thing. ahh

I used to go to all those shops. the Doctor's Surgery at 50 Church Street was only for the brave if Dr Smail was on duty. He could tell you what was wrong with you, just by looking at you. A good Doctor though. Dr Mackintosh was our Doctor. There was a surgery downstairs and one upstairs. Both had ill fitting doors and those in the waiting room heard everything. You could go round the back with your prescription and Miss Dronfield would make it up for you. There was also Mr Nicholson's chemist at the corner of Yew Lane and St Mary's Lane. Mr and Mrs Moxon had the newsagency opposite the Modern School drive.

yes that right gosh its a long time ago all this but what a great time we used to have when we were kids and all of it cost nothing.Can you remember the caves in the fields just off yew lane?always cows in the fields.

 

Yes we went there regularly, I can remember getting lost in the corn field as I was too small to see over the top, the local milk man took me home in his van. My brothers and me all got a fair old beating for that one.
