In Topic: Sweet Shops Selling Tabs To School Kids

Tommy Adamson owned the shop, I always called in there on me way home. His brother was Jimmy Adamson Manager of Burnley about 1964 ? When we played football for the school Tommy always asked how we got on "Brilliant Bloke"

As we got older and started to go across the road to the Wharton there was Derek ???????????? who was goal keeper with Sheffield Wednesday anyone know his surname please he would take us Sunday mornings training on the beach at Blyth another "Brilliant Bloke"

No No No It was Danny Douglas who handed out the punishment.

Stand on the red square boy bend over and you got 3 of the best with the cricket bat.

I am thinking of the front street, just down from the council offices. The fruit and veg shop, just to the side is a cut you walked down to the allotments on the way down was a small brick building inside there was an open fire with a big pot on the boil with hams inside.

Me grandad Charlton had an allotment down there we would spend hours during the school holidays.

Ted Hay he had pigs down at Hartford, when we lived in the Camps I can remember goin to see them and looking through that big window at the chicks hatching under the heat lamps.

HAPPY DAYS AH :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Some where at the back of Barnes shop, where you could get to the allotments was a brick building inside was were they boiled the hams. I remember going there with me grandad he would sit for hours talking to the old guy who looked after the hams.

Anyone else remember this and can maybe add somemore to jog me memory
