I use to go in toyshop Playland a lot, and in Josephines news agents for sweets or the smithy roebuck gate. mushroom picking up Knebworth Lane past the railway field on the left. i went to Shepalbury sec mod , I think I spent a lot of time looking out the window onto the Shepalbury park , and watching A.1 traffic and the trains to ?, thats why my writing and english is crap, lol.anyone got any memories of Bowes Lyon?
Having spoken to my sister Anne Daly more info has come to light -the picture is of Pan Power who owned the shop as well as the one at the Hyde. And we think that it was around 1963.
I am enjoying the site brings back a lot of memories. The picture of Mikes caravan barbers shop Chells has got the date incorrect. My father same name as me was the barber at this time. I worked at the butchers shop Ray Hawkins just along the way. I do believe that the shops have all gone now.
