About six years ago we had a short break in N Wales and just out of nostalgia I drove all the way back along the old coast road to include Rhyl and Prestatyn etc. It was depressing to see how far those great towns of my childhood had regressed

Two points if it goes ahead: The properties will need to be treble-glazed if the occupants are to hear each other speak I can just imagine the queues of traffic at the East Lancs Road lights each morning

Just a fortnight away and new season kicks off with Saints v Wigan at Peasley Cross and live on telly!

First went in 1948 and love it now as much as I did then added 46 minutes laterMy wife taught at Parr Central in the 1960s. The school had a cottage in a place called Capel Garmon, near Bettws y Coed. A highlight of a long weekend there with her kids from school was to take them to Llandudno for a day

And in the 1940s going to the Grand National.

What a magical place Carr Mill was to us youngsters from Harris Street! We used to bike there along what in the early 1950s was still called the New Road (A580). It had everything, fishing, rowing-boats, fun fair, swimming, hydroplane racing, miniature railway, caravan that sold toffee and ice-cream and plenty of woodland for boyhood adventures

I wonder if their players laid bets against their own club Like Sean Long and Martin Gleeson did at Saints a few years ago

It certainly wasn't Pilkington as they started in 1826

Yes, looks a fascinating exhibition. And for an old Harris Street resident like me, so many familiar sights. As for its political messages, they may have resonated sixty years ago but politics have moved on since then with political and social boundaries becoming blurred

Yes, Phyll, thanks from me too. I thought I knew Helena road well. We live and learn!

My memory of that area goes back to the 1940s as my grandparents lived in Lionel Street just a few yards away and this is the first time that I've heard that story. However, I suggest you contact Stephen Wainwright and ask him, see https://www.suttonbeauty.org.uk/

My memory of him (Clegg) is as a Saints Director when Carlisle played them in the Lancashire Cup in 1986. Saints hammered Carlisle 112 - 0 but he moaned the whole game about a Saints "try" that was disallowed in the first half

I remember Mr Cairns had a photo of Edward Elgar's home on his classroom wall
