I was born in Lancaster 1946. Left when I was twenty, I dont recognise the town now, when I lived there we had four cinemas to go to and a large Woolworths , M and S , and Reddrops stores often closed half day Wednesday. At least three brilliant meat and potato pie stalls and more fish and chip shops than you could shake a stick at, including my uncles. Just one Chinese restraunt and Eds coffee bar. Then the Wimpy near the old Odeon cinema, so cool. Three toy shops for Christmas and in those days you could still buy sheath knives, bows and arrows, catapults and air rifles etc without any problem. Such a free life but oh so innocent by todays standards. Everything closed on Sunday, and at 5 pm the rest of the week. No late shopping in those days. Steam trains to Morecambe and direct to Lakeside on Windermere where you could get off the train and on to the Lake steamers for a trip up the lake to Ambleside or Bowness. And the art college I went to in the Stories building opposite the Kings Arms. Concerts and bowling at Morecambe, could not get tickets fot the Beetles. Finaly the lights in winter on Morecambe prom, and through Happy Mount Park , the equal of Blackpool anyday.
