Bygone Days - the 50's |

| "The Coronation, every street in the village was to hold a street party to celebrate the event. The week before a patch of grass was cut outside our house and cordoned off to keep the dogs away. Everyone baked, and had their tables and chairs ready for the day. It rained all day so the street party was in Mrs. Simms house, because she had a piano and we had a sing-a-long and played games it was still a lovely day" …"We bought a television to watch the Coronation. All of our relations and friends were invited to see it. Seats were put into rows, just like the pictures. They were more took up with the television that they were with the Coronation" | |||
