I went to Saint Ann’s School. Starting at Infants,Juniors,then Seniors at Overbury St?
I was a paper boy at Harry’s paper and tobacco shop,at the corner of Ash Street.
You could leave your door open during the 50s and 60s,without worrying about thieves. Looking back it was a kind of magic. But at times it was hard,no money! Poor. I so yearn for those times!
