Pretty good and clear photograph of the Market Place. Referring to the signpost - you can just see the top of it. It always fascinated me with one of the named places on the sign being 'Boca Chica'. It was on the Cambois/North Blyth side of the river. I searched on the internet about 12 months back and found out why the place had been called Boca Chica. It referred to some naval exploit in South America(if my memory is correct) and in which local(Cambois) sailor(s) had been involved. I am not sure if I posted details here on RootsChat re what I had found.
And next door to Woolworth's and between the Market Tavern was Soulsby's butchers shop. There were two brothers who ran that shop, and I believe they were called George and Stan. They had delivery boys working for them after school, and one of the trips was across the chain ferry, riding up past Cambois to West Sleekburn.
Also, if I remember, there was another Soulsby's butcher on Waterloo Road. I believe they were all related.
The Central Cinema - I remember queuing there one evening to see the film, "Sailor of the King". It starred Michael Rennie, and a young American actor. There must have been some age restriction re the film as I persuaded a couple to let me go in with them. Years later I found the film was based on the C.S. Forester novel, 'Brown on Resolution.' where the young British sailor held a German warship at bay when he was armed only with a rifle. The novel had been set in World War I, but for the film it was 'transferred' to WWII.
