Re: DO YOU REMEMBER THESE?

Re: East Lane Market
When I was a nipper my mum, brother and me always looked forward to our trips to the East Lane market on a Saturday morning as there was always something happening there!

Re: Tooley Street Police Station
I remember the Tooley Street Police with a great passion! We lived in Abbey Buildings and one Sunday morning me and my mate found a handbag covered in glass, so we took it to Tooley Street Police Station to hand it in. The desk Sergeant and Constable must've been a bit bored as they took our fingerp...

Re: BEVINGTONS & SON, NECKINGER MILL.
Back in the 70's on our back home from school we would pass Bevingtons on Abbey Street and we would dare each other to go up to the lime pits via the side entrance and look into them! We knew that the factory produced leather but in our child's minds we thought that cows were put into the pits that ...
