In this picture nearly opposite Stevens Bakery was G.J. KINGS & SONS BUILDERS &DECORATORS, I was an apprentice for 5 years for them. My dad also worked for them for many years as a decorator untill his death in 1963. My name is Richard & my dad was Stan Groves.
Hi Richard. When i was a little girl my mum worked at Marine Gate. She use to take me with her. She would always take me into the the old ladys shop and buy me a huge current bun. This was well over 40 years ago but it only seems like yesterday. What happy times they where.
Hi Richard.my great nan and grandad lived here and my nan was born here.Their name was Rogers.
I loved Mrs. Stevens' twopenny buns and penny rolls, hot from the oven. Completely unique taste. There was a cafe across the road where we worked washing up in summer holidays. My two brothers, Don and Archie and I lived up the road at 4 Hillside Cottages.
