With much discussion on the Fifties, how many remember the 1953 Coronation procession in London.  And what about Fifties activities in places like Hamstead Heath Park.

Hello Zelley,
Nothing i'm afraid as I was in hospital near Basingstoke over that period, actually saw it on TV, 1st TV I saw, and I was not impressed. Still not, watch very little unless certain documentaries.

Talza Arcade - Faces & Places
« Reply #11 on: Saturday 30 September 06 21:44 BST (UK) »
One of the shopkeepers at The Victoria (Talza) Arcade was Thomas Habberley.
He was born in London in the mid-1880s.

Looking at the history of Southend, its such a shame that so many old buildings were demolished in the Sixties.  The Talza arcade was one of them.
Somehow a mall just doesnt have the atmosphere and character of the old Arcades.
