Library van 1960s

The Library van, with Mr Satherley at the wheel, used to come each week. It was a focal point for women to meet and probably exchange gossip.

The coalman used to deliver our coal and coke. The Corona lorry used to come and sometimes we would buy bottles of Lemonade or Cherryade from him. You would get 3d for taking back the empty pop bottles.

Our groceries were delivered each week by Mr Burt and my mum would write out her order for the following week in a little red book that she would give to him.

Sometimes our milk that was delivered had round cardboard tops on the bottles which I used to make pom-poms by wrapping wool round them through the hole in the middle.

Our GP was Dr Drummond in Yarmouth and I only remember going to see him twice. Once was to have 3 stitches put in my chin after I fell off the school rocking horse and the other time was to have immunisation when there was an outbreak of Polio.
