Anyone remember Dewsbury's news agency and his wonderful bread?
Loved going in there - I got left outside once in my pram, apparently usually loud!!! When Mum came out I was quiet and went home without me, Mrs Dewsbury pushed me over the road.

A number of aerial photos from the late 1940s have been recently put online.
This is Plains Road, Mapperley, looking towards the shops in the top right. On the left is the garage which was on the corner of Central Avenue - opposite the top of Somersby Road. In the 70s-80s I remember it being a Honda (?) dealer, then Volvo.
Roughly in the centre of the photo is the old school on the corner of Hazel Grove - now housing.
Yes, so grateful for that photo, anything that area of Plains Road warms the heart.

Alongside (Tree Tops side) was the walkway to what I referred to earlier as 'Crosslands' fields, and once past the bungalow (Robinsons?) and the garage, on the right was a pond. This used to ice over in winter and was a place for catching frog spawn! it was also a pond where several kids went through the ice in winter or fell in during the summer. To the right, in the main field, was an enormous horse chestnut tree where someone had banged in a few six inch nails, so that climbing it to the first level was easier. Spent many a happy hour climbing or sitting in that tree - and the conkers were pretty impressive!.
Next door to the garage on our side, was 'Worsley's Dairy'. Remember the days before foil capped bottles of milk? Worsleys had the wide necked glass bottles, which he filled by hand running the milk from churns across a cooler(?), in a tiny outhouse at the back of the property; the bottles had a pushed in cardboard cap. Maybe he got the milk from 'Hillside Farm' just up the road? He ran an ancient, prewar Singer van.
Can you remember the milkman that lived a few doors up towards town from Dewsburys I think his name was Percy?

At Mapperley Plains School in the 70s there was a teacher called Mr Williams. He lived down on Wensley Road in Woodthorpe and could been seen walking back there every day after school down Somersby, Malmesbury and Pateley Road, turning left into Melbury Road (past my gran's house) and on to Wensley Road. He was proper old school and had been teaching throughout the 50s and 60s. He was about ready for retirement by the time I turned up. He had an ulcer and used to have milk and plain biscuits all the time. He caned me! It was like being taught by someone from a black and white film!
i was there in the 60's he was awful - i was scared to death of him!!! was waving the cane when we walked into class.

My grandparents were 60 so Beardsleys must have been 62. We were 48, it was Hoards old house before they moved to Digby Avenue.
I can remember your cousin Angela coming every year at Goose Fair, I loved her to bits.
