When I was an apprentice our blacksmith Jack O'Sullivan described to me having his motorcycle test. He said that he met the examiner off the train then Jack said he went round the roundabout on Station road/Church lane, came back to the station and that was his test. The examiner got back on the next train. I couldn't envisage the junction until now 47 years later I have seen a photograph of the very spot. Thanks very much
Ashby Ville...so many football pitches, so much activity on a Sunday morning, great for the community. Could have been turned into a fantastic area for all sport...instead sold off to property developers.
iv lived in scunthorpe all my life.. and realized how beautiful it was.. couldn't u of showed the steel works back in the day? i mean thats what scunthorpe is known for x
Nice post thanks for taking the time . I remember the lights in the pavements in Scunny precinct in the late 70's - my Dad made the tiles in the toilets nr the Library thats said ' Paper' and 'Flush' lol - it had crazy hand driers that never worked lol
Although I live in Kent and have not been there, I know where Scunthorpe is as I have seen it on the maps before too. A large town in Lincolnshire of course. I presume the name Humberside has now been deleted preferably forever, from what it used to be at the time though. Should not have been made to join with what is now the East Riding of Yorkshire at all really too. Also in a way it is a shame that the town's name has a very rude word in it too, but I guess that is how it is somehow too alas! Whatever, thank you anyway too.
Out of town shopping destroyed the town centre And internet shopping if nobody working nobody will be able from internet shops it getting like this all over and councils lose revenue
i personally think it went down hill when all the immigrants came and when the council decided to knock half the town down it looked so much better back then and their were loads better shops and the market had loads of stall such a shame realy
Great to see the old green buses, I went to Riddings Comp in the 1970's and prefer how the town was. Excellent clip.
Moved to Newcastle 20 years ago thats spine tingling watching that
