40summat Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 What was the question again? Actually i can remember my brother being brought home from hospital after he was born, i was 4 yrs old. Also the death of Winston Churchill, everyone on our street had their curtains closed and later when i recalled this memory to my late mum she told me that would have been the occasion, i was 5 then.

beechnut Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 My first memory is also of watching the Coronation on TV - I was 3. As hillsboro wrote, few people had a TV and half the neighbourhood was in our front room watching the Coronation. I also remember Roger Bannister running the first 4-minute mile the following year.

harmston Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Born 1936 can remember looking up to the wicker bridge and seeing the hole from the bombing you can still see the outline ,and all the burnt out buildings and the terrible smell from what was Walshes store even long after the war was over. I also remember after V.E Night a lot of places had bonfires and us local lads had one on the field where firth park bowling alley is now ,and one of the mothers gave us a pile of roast potatoes in her new enamel pie dish,we found out that if you put a firework under it on going off the dish went well up in to the air, great fun till Mrs B came out for her dish ,what was left of it we all received a thick ear but it was worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was staying at the Youth Hostel in Castleton when I heard of the great man's death, the respect at that time was fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USUK Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I can remember New Years Eve 1950 like it was yesterday. I was allowed to stay up and watch it on TV with my Grandmother and was given a watered down Port & Lemon to toast it with her. I was 6 then and now'days I can't remember what I had for dinner last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
