Nostalgic old 'B' - At 71yrs old I can still get a lump in the throat as I found out on reading your wonderful site. I left Wheatley Hill in 1955 and joined 'The Guards' as a percussionist, my stepfather was Tommy Holmes the 'Tankey' driver along with Len ???. My mam was Ella Holmes and ran the sweet shop next to the Royalty cinema. Nice to see Frankie Horner in photo's, when I was on leave one Xmas, my mam set fire to the oven and Frankie and 'the lads' were called out at 2.00pm on Xmas Day to put the fire out.... Collapse
