I've been out bird-watching today; didn't see any like those in the trees in that photo...

They could be cormorants.

Probably been said before but why did everyone in those days (and for a good few years after) look about 40 years old

No date, but the Cinema House was closed and then demolished in 1961. Late 50s at a guess for that pic

In your other photo they seem to be showing Pal Joey, which was 1957.

In the home villages maybe, not quite so peaceful on the battlefields of Europe.

BEA FLIGHTS HALVED

Very poignant.

I think it was always said that if you'd a record to sell she'd say there wasn't much demand for it, lots of them available and offer the lowest price.

Conversely if you wanted to buy a record she'd tell you that it was rare and very much in demand. Selling to you at the highest price.

Usually the same record.

For once, I think you have it completely wrong. It's Butlin's Skegness knobbly knees final. Some serious competitors there...

From my early days I remember all Star sellers around the city centre wearing white coats with a red star on the back.

Dont suppose you have any pictures of the building next to the Dog and Partridge Andingmen ? Further up next to the new building the was a lane which led to a courtyard and this was owned and surrounded by the building I mean. It was Walsh's/Rackhams warehouse , all 5 floors were full of merchandise ,you can see a settee piled up against a window on the 2nd floor. The building was massive ,I worked there for 5 years ,best time of my life.
