Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

1968 I was born above the shop that was an off licence, I believe it was called Wine Ways later became Victoria Wine.My family moved in 1973 and I would like to be able to get any info or a picture of where I was born
My brother fell in here, probably around 1949.
I remember the coffee shop too. We always had to rush past as Mum couldn't bear the smell of fresh roasting coffee. We would go into Lyons and I would always have a sausage roll with my drink. Happy days.
I remember the fab coffee roasting machine in the high st when I was a kid. I was born in 1948. Even tte glass shop window was warm. There were sparks and smoke all the time it was wonderful. Mum took me there for tea and cakes when feeling flush. Waitresses all in uniform with little pinnies on. Oooh! I was in a group then called size five, we played all over the area quite a lot. From about 1964 to 1970 ish. Anyone remember size five??? Mike grieve
