This image is a coloured postcard: These coloured postcards were produced by the Frith company in the 1950s and 60s, in the earliest days of coloured postcard production, and were printed using a process called collo-colour. Although the results look quite basic to modern eyes, used to the wonders of the modern printing process, these postcards have a certain period charm as delightfully nostalgic ephemera items from the not-so-distant past.

Memories Of Hinckley Station Yard

I have not seen any pictures of the Station Yard in Hinckley. My father used to work in B.Ridgway's coal office in the yard. His parents used to lived in a house called Hilltop at the corner of Priesthills Road. I have been to the station to see what its like but there is nothing there now. I would have thought there was some memories as the Ridgway's coal and furniture firm were an old established business. Does anyone have any information please.

School Run

I lived up at the Three Pots on the A5, just opposite the pub of that name, me and my mum and dad had just moved there from Wellesborough near Sibson when I started at Burbage infant church school in 1955. On my first day at school, around November time, it was really cold with deep snow and me and my mum walked up to catch the H21 at the bus stop up by the Co-op at the top of Wolvey Road.
