Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I used to live in Thompsons Road, in the first house on the right. We used to go to Gilks Shop every day. Mr Gilks used to give me and my sister free liquorice, especially when we were dressed in our Sunday best. The farm at the bottom of the road was Goodalls Farm. I live in NZ now, so coming across this video was a real nostalgia hit. 🥰
Hi Lynda and thanks again for watching my Vlogg , Yes i remember Gilks , i used to go to the shop at the bottom ( was it the coop) and buy penny arrows , We used to live in Jackson Close , I am pleased you came across my video and thanks for you comments Kev

Hi and many thanks for your comments and pleased you like the video and cool to see you were there , i always try to promote local business and even better if they sell something special .
Thanks for the tour. It’s been many years (54-69) since I lived there. I remember the farm at the end of Thompson’s Rd. I used to deliver papers around these area. Foot and Mouth raised its ugly head and I always had to dip my shoes in disinfectant.
Hello! My name is Candy Styles. My fathers name is Les Styles. I was relations of Tracey and Gary Hacket. Actually we had a lot of family members who was raised in keresley. I was born in number 50 Thompson Road. I use to love waking upto the cows and sheep that congregated at the bottom of our garden. And I loved walking through the blue bells in the woods that I to use to play in as much as possible. It was beautiful around Thompsons Road. Then my father brought the house at Shaftbury Avenue. But my heart always stayed with Thompson Road. Such a delightful, pleasent street.
Hi and thanks for your comment , We also lived in Jackson Close and I think I remember a John Thomas across the road from us although I may wrong as it was over fifty years ago

Anyone remember Warings newsagents ...but it was known as Shielas shop cos my auntir Shiela was always serving. She went on to.work in the post.office.
