Family Holidays in North Farm Road and Tower Road

I used to come to Lancing to visit my Grandmother in North Farm Road in the fifties as a youngster in the school holidays. My aunt and uncle lived in Tower Road. 

The Luxor Cinema and Jaffa the Labrador

I remember going to the Luxor to see Singing in the Rain and other films that were on at the time. I remember walking a lovely Labrador called Jaffa, as he was orangey red in colour. 

Railway Workers and Child-Sized Baskets at Woolworths

My grandfather worked for the railways, which were at Churchill Industrial Estate. On North Road, there was a cobbler and a small sweet shop. Also, Woolworths had small shopping baskets for us children that couldn't manage a large one.

Horse-Drawn Floats and Riding at Bridles

 I also remember a horse-drawn milk float delivering milk and groceries.

Sadly, my Grandmother has passed on now, but I am now living in Lancing myself and still walk dogs, my own and also run dog training classes. I expect some of you have seen me around and maybe have come to our classes. Lovely memories. I still love Lancing.

I also used to ride the horses up over New Road, owned by the Bridles.
