    Love this video, Stephen. You have taken in the stamping ground of my youth, from Lytham Road bridge (the little alley across from Hampton Road was where my grandad had his garage), down to the Highfield Road end where I lived. The house that you pointed out with the Eliott Booth sign has been converted into flats. It is quite important locally, as it was owned by some show business agent, who used to have his acts staying there. Kumara (the house's name) has hosted the likes of Laurel and Hardy, and Bette Davies. The Park View home used to br the BLESMA Home for blind servicemen. I think they used to make poppies there. Thank you so much for this, Stephen. You really have cheered up my evening.

      The big mansion that is now a care home was the home of an old lady member of the Horrocks cotton mill owner’s family. When she died the grounds were given for the playground and the mansion became the BLESMA (British Limbless Ex Service Man’s Association) home. I used to play on the park in the 50’s. There were tennis courts, rose gardens, bowling greens, etc. Why can’t we afford to keep our public spaces like we could just a few years after the war?

    We lived in one of the terraced houses you passed opposite Hampton Rd You are walking my paper round which in those days had to be done twice a day. The houses in Windermere Rd mainly took the Times, Telegraph or Financial Times. Very interesting Steve.
    P.s. I remember the trams passing in the front of the house. Behind the house were the steam trains heading every few minutes into Central Station. It was pretty noisy for guests though we were used to it.
    Thanks Steve

    They are for receiving parcels, yes.
    You can choose to have them delivered to a secure locker at a location of your choice. That way you don't need to wait in all day for them to deliver directly to you, and you can go and collect it from the locker at a time that is convenient to you. Uncollected parcels are returned to sender after 48rs, if you don't collect them.
