It could well have been Louise. I remember it being a family business and the mom wearing an apron.

That has made me all nostalgic too. I remember the milk vending machine. Was not it outside greengrocers. I will ask my mum tomorrow and she will definitely remember. Great memories.

Hi Debra, the chip shop was Nick’s and I remember the blue milk machine which was outside the green-grocers on the corner of Hunts Road. I never actually had any milk out of it. 2p? You must have been from a well-off family! Lol Do you remember the old sweet shop just up from the baths? Happy days!

Does anyone remember it. X

Thanks Neil. Glad you liked it. Now with the crane on site it is coming on apace. Keep an eye out for upcoming tours.

It reminds me of my childhood, I spent many happy hours in the pool and the gym. Both my junior & senior schools used it to teach pupils to swim. I was only thrown out once, for ‘pushing’ (not ‘heavy petting’, whatever that was! Lol). Good work!
