@Anne Gilbert - I remember in the early 1960's I used to deliver the Sunday newspapers to a few house along Stead Lane but can't remember any of the names of those I delivered to. For the Sunday deliveries it wasn't just push the newspaper through the door you had to knock on the day and collect the money for the newspaper. Think I stopped delivering them in 1966 when alcohol, forced on me on a Saturday night at Craigsies Disco (Railway Tavern), used to prevent me waking up early The only name I can remember of a lad, a couple of years older than me, living in Stead Lane is Ken Moor. He used to play in a group called The Olympics and they practiced in the YMCA.

Yep - that's them - poplars

Oh Happy days!
