(B221)  Trash Or Treasure, Stallard St, later moved to Waterworks Road  due to the road widening (roundabout) & Asda entrance. [Stephen Lovering]

Yvonne writes to say:  Week 22 (B221)   this use to be a laundrette before the yellow lines were done.

 

(B222) Ms Swanton surrounded by her treasures. Note a copy of The Weekly Advertiser,  a free newspaper.  The first one was issued in Birmingham in 1984, and brought about the  decline of the local newspaper industry, like the Wiltshire Times. Who would pay 50p when you could get local news delivered to your front door for free?

 

(B223) A visit to the open air market. Not sure where this was. The Football ground perhaps.  The 1st of June was a  Friday

 

(B224) Lunch break at the Open Air Market

 

(B225) Cool clothes for kids at the Open Air Market
