Re: Ellisons Tenement/Fair Ground

I remember the fair just as Claytonx describes it. I lived in Oxford street, and went to night school at Hyndburn Park sec mod. I would walk home after with Eddy Pearson, Eddy now spins the discs on the ROCK&ROLL nights at the Popular Club, it would be 1959 I remember the sheer joy and anticipation walking along Hyndburn road when the fair was on the tenement, the music getting louder and louder the excitement growing, till at last we reached those four small steps up from Hyndburn road and on to the fairground. Bright lights, rock and roll music, the smell of hot dog’s black peas and diesel absolute bliss. Eddy and me still love rock & roll, some things don’t change Trev C.
