Anyone knew what colour no.29 was in 2003 and in 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s very curious live there right now wondering if anyone knew who used to live there how it used to look and the colour of the bay window
Mary, I think their official name was “Lubbly Jubblys”, perhaps later hi-jacked by Del Boy in “Only Fools and Horses”. I always had a job getting into the triangular pack which was a sort of coated paper, rather like the tetrapack milk cartons. Also quality control did not seem to be a strong point during their manufacture as they could either be extremely orangey and flavoursome or else literally a piece of flavourless, frozen slush. Seem to remember them as 3d or 4d C1960.
What memories of the “wee sweetie shop” as my family called it. Slurping on “Jubilees” – triangular orange ice lollies, in Winter! Teeth chattering, holding the ice with your school scarf as your hands were frozen stiff, but enjoying every mouthful!
Lesley Booth: I remember the little shop at the bottom of “Beakie”. In later years I believe it became “Anne”s Pantry”. I used to call in because it was one of the few places – Mr. Wosniak”s opposite St. Joseph”s R.C. Church on Darlington Lane was another – where you could get the genuine small, hard licorice sticks, which were originally a half penny each. I believe they were made in Italy. A few years ago I found something similar in a specialist sweetshop in Whitby, slightly larger, but at £1.00 a stick! Loved the taste of it as a kid, though it left you with blackened teeth and lips for a while.
As a lad, my hubby lived near here and his mam would send him to the little shop at the bottom of “Beakie” (as it was known) to get milk or bread. He always came back with something different!!
Lived in 64 Beaconsfield Road from 1971 to 1973 and loved the place, great people in those days and our neighbours in 66 still live there – Maureen and Phil. Have lovely memories of seeing our kids play there when very young and in the “back street” when it was safe to let kids out of your sight.
Hi My name is Jane and I have lived in South Africa for 29 Years. I was born in Beaconsfield Road No. 9, in February 1952 in the same room as my mother and my grandmother. I remember hiding in the garden and feeding my face with my uncles raspberries and fresh garden peas, (nothing tastes that good anymore). Even tho” I was only four when we moved from Beaconsfield Road, I still remember the fruit and veg man coming around with his horse and cart, and also the grocery van, (they were good time) I have good memories of Beaconsfield Road and actually visited No 9 in 2003 whilst visiting my family who still live in Norton.

Anon- Maybe you”re right about the name, you are definitely right about the packaging and see sawing taste!

I’ve just bought number 9. How nice to read something from an old resident.
