More about this scene
Small, well-mannered cottages set a later 19th-century scene in the days before parked cars lined the roads. The bay-windowed house to the left of the photograph remains intact but neglected, while shops have taken over the remainder.

I saw an interesting video on u tube recently called "coalville goes smokeless 1963 " .I knew one of the commenters on there Harold Lindley.
The Miner's Welfare (as it was known locally) gave a home to a wide variety of local activities. As a young teenager I attended weekly ballroom dancing classes on a Saturday morning,and an annual family pilgrimage to the Coalville Amateur Operatic Society musical was much enjoyed. The town lost a much loved and valuable institution when it burned down. I believe it was arson.
Hello, my name is Linda and I'd like to share some info. My late hubby Eddie David Stallon, born 5/9/48 lived with his parents in Coalville. His parents Ivy and Joe Stallon ran a fish and chip shop there and later had a restaurant in Coalville where Eddie ran the bar there, this was back in 1964 for restaurant and earlier for fish shop. Does anyone remember these two shops in Coalville or the Stallon family, there were 4 sons in the family, no girls. Thanks, Linda Bexx Stallon.
I got married here in 1973, our reception was then at the Catholic Club, my mum and her friends did all the catering! The Vicar at our wedding was Barrie Barnes. Sheila Bakewell sang The Wedding while we signed the register. Our first daughter was christened here. I went to the youth club in the wooden building at the side of the church, happy memories!! My mum so sadly passed away in January 2014 ...see more
