The first of two visits to King’s Road from 1971 – this one from June. The fashions are just a little different to the 1960s aren’t they?
The second batch is from August 1971
1972’s photos from the Kings’ Road. Fashions a little different to the 60s…
Here are the now-traditional shots from King’s Road, from visits in June and July. Some fantastic 1970s fashions, and not just from the ladies!
Pics from our summer holiday in 1973 – a trip up north, which will have been to stay with my father’s parents near Hull. We went a bit further north, as well.
The Transporter Bridge in Middlesborough – to be honest, until I saw this I never knew I’d been there.
A couple for any Dr Who fans out there – an exhibition in Stockton-on-Tees. Not sure whether they supplied a sofa to hide behind.
One of me and the Brother with our father – no idea where we are!
A great piece of 1970s fashion sir!
Skidby Mill near hull – I remember going there several times – pretty sure it was a functioning mill. Ah yes, a quick google and here it is.
These last two show a fairly uninspiring set of workings and a bloody great hole in the ground. This building site became the Humber Bridge – there are some more pics to come from 1974, but I’ve never seen the bridge complete.
“The Bittern” at Cottingham Station.
A selection of pics from Northampton in 1973
One of the stalls on the Market Square
Traffic chaos at the old Banbury Lane level crossing – now replaced by a bridge. We used to go out there and watch the trains fairly often. For many years I thought there were no trains on Sundays because that’s what my parents told me – presumably so I wouldn’t bug them to go out there on Sundays as well…
Not the sort of thing you stumble across in a field too often…
Some from the Borough Show in Abington Park.
The building work in the Town Centre continues, with the public still not suspecting how awful it’s going to be.
A summer evening at the pub – the Britannia on the Bedford Road.
One from the front garden at home, showing the cherry(?) tree in blossom – it just *look* 1970s doesn’t it?
And one final one – dear god what the hell are those trousers??? Putting a 5-year old boy in those nowadays would probably constitute child abuse. Especially with red sandals. Home-knit jumper by the looks of it.
