This is the second of those images from 1966 when Seymour Meads still competed with the Co-op, with the two facing each other off on opposite side of Hardy Lane.
The age of the Corporation tram had gone and its successor was still just a dream held by a few transport enthusiasts.

Ah, receiving my weekly "spends" on Saturday morning and walking up Hardy Lane to Yours to buy a quarter of pear drops. I was also sent to the hairdresser next door where because of the peer pressure and fashion of the time (for long hair) I'd ask for a "just a trim". 20 minutes later I'd walk out of the shop with a short back and sides - he knew what my mother wanted!
ReplyDeleteIn 1966 I lived at Youd’s newsagents above the shop. My bedroom window was the one on the left.
