I lost a ten bob note walking around here one day. You may not think thats not much money to lose, it is when you only get £2.14.6p a week which equates to 1s and 3d 3 farthings an hour. My dad gave me a good telling off. That would have been about 1961.

This is it! I've just posted a comment on another article about the manager of the Co-Op at http://bit.ly/tQVeH5 This is the old cinder track that I remember and I'm pretty sure that is the entrance to the Co-Op dairy! I remember finding a ten-bob note there one day - JUST KIDDING!

Yes thats right Ashley the grocery stock room is the bit with the "greenhouse" on top and the dairy was on the left of this back entrance.

Thanks for that information John. I presume that the new road runs through directly where that grocery store and the building to its left then stood? What was the building nearer the Denton Island bridge with the creamy yellow wall? From studying an old map of the town, would I be correct in my calculations that that bridge was the original river crossing before the new 'cut' was made in the river, north of the swing bridge?
