I love the adverts in these......

The Loggerheaads Inn, before my time, but one of Roy's old photos is  here....http://www.bostonuk.com/largeimage.php?id=827&type=Past%20Images&f=Boston

Also the advert for TV repairs...how many TVs were there in Boston in 1956?

I bought my first telly from Wain & Sharp in the late 60's.

I also started work at Trenery's about the same time.

Wonderful memories of a lovely old, and unspoilt, town.

Very true, we had the state of the art MULTISIGNALS from Wain and Sharp.

Denaby was a team based at Denaby Main Colliery in the Dearne Valley, between Mexborough and Conisbrough. They folded in 2002, 34 years after the last coal was mined there.

He had a bubble gum machine outside, I remember he left the front off one day.  Me and my mates had "chewey" for weeks.  So if Tony is still alive, I had about 20 @ 1 old penny each so I owe you 10p with inflation would a quid do? :D

Fascinating pics, thanks N40 and Ferret.

What a shame the Peoples Park is no longer there (I didn't even know it existed beforehand)

I remember playing there in the early fifties when we called it The Old Park. Great for climbing trees and mountain biking on shop delivery bikes, usually with your mate sat in the basket. Happy days.
