  3. the holocoust centre between olerton and newark is well worth a visit if you have a couple of hours to spear dave and i have been a couple of times the rose gardens out side are lovely each bush is dedicated to someone who was lost in the death camps .inside is a small tea rooms and a museum with a theater were the man who ran it gave a small talk and then as there were only a few of us talk us round the museum explaing things to us.

  4. when i moved up to cavendish rd in 1963 the nurerywas just closing down and they were giving away lots of the rose bushes dad went across the road and came back with a dozen it was pot luck what you were given ours were all different colors they made a great display the next year . once the area was cleared they started to build what was then the new estate that ran along the back of the cavo pub and the bungaloes on cavendih rd to opposit the gates of the allotments just above buxton ave shopsthese were finished by about 1967

    this nursry only grew roses and i thought it belonged to weat grofts

  6. as i was alwaysa rocker most rockers iknow then and no were clean and although yes some times they were covered in oil from tinkering with bikes,mant i know now have very sucessful businesses and have very good lives. i know a lot of people mixed up the geniun rocker with the scruffy hells angles just because they rode bikes and sometimes frequented the same places most of us rockers would not be seen with hells angels.

    but yes the answer to the original question is a big yes the time the people the places and the freedom we as teenagers had and of course the music and i know that most mods think they had the best musiic what most of them forget is both mods and rockers danced to a lot of the same music only the dancing was different
