PHOTOS
I don't have any photos of places of the past
I only hope in years to come my memories will last
I often visit places they've been knocked down or sadly gone
And just for a moment my memories live on
Sycamore and Coppice Rec, they don't look the same
Planners say the vandals are the only ones to blame
But vandals didn't knock down homes
Buildings vanished before my eyes
If only they had money then, they could have modernised
I worked at Farmer's - that has gone -- so has the Eight Bells Pub
Its tower blocks of flats now where smaller buildings stood
Oh we wanted a bath, we wanted more room
But leaving our ( cold old house ) came too soon
It's nice to turn the clock back to days when I was young
The most important ones back then were our Dad and Mum
But we all get older and we stand proud
It was magic being one of the crowd
You see, years ago everyone was everyone's friend
They helped each other to share, give or lend
Nowadays we don't seem to have much time
You're doing your chores and I'm doing mine
I have hundreds of memories- these are a few
St Anns Well Road Pre .Demolition .....is first in the queue
(This was in print 20 years ago.....just last line added....)
