All our yesterdays

[TANGODANCER]

The Bolton News are currently running a thread to send in pics from your younger years (if you dare),so come on, admit you wore flares and T-Rex/Slade style glam rock shoes, or go back even further to kid days. Go on, have a go. Here's one of me and our kid training to be rodeo riders over in Ireland about 1950..

Another pic of a donkey with me sat on this one, circa 1964 at Morcambe:

^ kin'ell clappers that photograph not only captured the moment just before a total solar eclipse, but also a huge meteorite whizzing behind your head and crashing into the sea. You obviously survived the subsequent tsunami...

( I shall post some later).

OK, here's me and my bruv, and my other bruv circa 1963 aged 8 (natty zip up jumper and fxck you stare if I say so myself)

[Lost Leopard Spot]

and here's one that has already been seen (when Bruce noticed the state of my feet...)
From about 1977 aged 22



And here's one from the same era of me wedging a joint into my anatomical buddy in the medical school at Liverpool Uni... (Bruce can no doubt tell ya just how much of a manky cxnt I look, but back then I was this country's future... )



Very shortly after that I became a punk, but you don't want to see any photos of then believe me

The day we went to ....er, Blackpool. My brother was planning a carreer as a Francis Chichester type..



None of your punk stuff here. Tie pins and pocket handkerchiefs were the style man....

Couple of pics that I "borrowed off the net (hoping I'm not upsetting somebody/anybody over copyright)that brought back happy memories and that some ( Monty/Dujon etc) might be old enough to remember.



The old Arcade off Bradshawgate.



Harker Haworths ( in the same Arcade) were I did some serious music browsing from 1955/6 onwards when Little Richard was "Gonna tell Aunt Sally about Uncle John" .... and all that stuff...



Old Newport Street pic from the same Era. Just behind the Belisha beacon on the left was a gents toilets down some steps, and later, and a bit further along Bolton's Ray Parry had a newspaper kiosk. Reids, my beloved bookshop was fourth shop along from the left and Macartney's mens outfitters had a shop down the other end ( past the clock) almost across from the Wheatsheaf pub. Long time back but seems almost like yesterday. Bolton was a wonderful place to be back then...

The Gent's Outfitter on Newport St. that I went to was called Aults I think.

Aults yes, but MaCartneys was on the other side, opposite what later would be Wimpey's burger bar. They also had a shop inside the Market Hall. Greenwoods also had a store in there, may still have upstairs.
