Steam trains
Buses with open platforms at the back
The Humber Ferry
Nellies in Beverley when it had gas lights and big marble table (before Sam Smiths installed a bar) ...
... and they had Theakston's Old Peculier before they dropped the ABV below 6%

Mini dresses

 

Snake Belts, Happy Days and Mork and Mindy = very worthy additions!

I'd also add 'Chips' the TV programme not the potato delicacy.

 

Test matches that lasted 5 days.

Lord Toffingham ice lollies.

 

Albert Ave outdoor pool then breadcake at shop opposite after.

 

The pools still there.

 

What would he want with my mam's bathroom curtains?

Awsome

 

Happy Days?

 

Seems like two threads here, the OBR and the NS (not so ) OBR. Anyway from the OBR, three pints of beer for under 10 shillings. Also no school buses, so we used public transport, bicycles, or shank's pony. Watching Len Hutton, Freddie Trueman, Johnny Wardle et al at the Circle from the footbridge over the railway at Anlaby Road before the over pass was built. (during lunch hour at Riley High School).

 

Not the words I would have chosen.
