This article, written by David Walter Morris in 1996, describes parts of the town centre as they were seventy years earlier in 1926. David was born in 1912 and lived firstly in Broniestyn Terrace and then in Commercial Street. His father was a hosier and outfitter and when the family moved to Commercial Street, the town became very familiar to DWM, which no doubt enabled him to write accurately about the shops and other premises after such a long period of time.

Maybe the next Olympics will
Maybe the next Olympics will hold an obese section, where only people over twenty stone can take part in a long distance run. The gold medal winner will be the grossest persons who finish without collapsing with a heart attck!
