I remember even as a "kid" feeling a wee bit sad at the thought of someones home being taken down.<br /><br />And there was that petrol station, or "garage" as we always called it. That too was "rebuilt" around the time 1977-1980. I should know cos' I was taking lots of photographs with my new (bought off Dad!) Olympus OM1. <br /><br />Scriptor, if I ever come across a photo-negative of that old house, I'll let you know for sure!!! But don't hold up your hopes, cos' I don't actually recall Dad ever photographing it. Which is actually counter to what he would have done; especially if a demolition was taking place. To be fair to Dad, he may not have found the time to do this - he was always busy at work, and/or pottering around in his cellar.<br /><br />As I've mentioned somewhere, I've a large box full of old (mainly 35mm) negs here, but no scanner yet, and my darkroom is not yet set up.<br /><br />Anyway, no doubt in time I'll discover something I've not seen before.<br /><br />jamesejamesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02921023311842735743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1612983585876526152.post-73175899669518816832009-04-16T20:01:00.000+01:002009-04-16T20:01:00.000+01:00jamese - Some of those photos are great.

It was in the very early days of Sunday School when I learned a very hard lesson for a 5? year old. I realised that I was the only one in our group (one of many) singing the hymn and stopped. I was called out to the teacher and asked why I'd stopped. When I offered the explanation that everyone would be looking at me she asked me what made me think that I was that important. It was cruel at the time and I suffered much but I never forgot it and, with hindsight, it was a very good lesson to learn.<BR/><BR/>As for Sunday School during my confirmation classes the Rev Cyril F Dunsby turned me against the Church for many years - in fact probably for ever because whilst I went back to Church temporarily in my 20s I never really had the commitment of my childhood.GBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289400344300258872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1612983585876526152.post-59196183733011341412008-03-11T18:43:00.000+00:002008-03-11T18:43:00.000+00:00I, too, used to carry the shopping home on a Satur...I, too, used to carry the shopping home on a Saturday morning (presumably when CJ was still too a wee a laddie) but used a large wicker shopping basket (and often another basket to balance things up).
