Darlaston 

I remember Darlaston in the early 1960's. I was 7 when we left there in 1965, but still have fond childhood memories. We lived in King Edward St. and I went to Pinfold Street School. My Nan and Grandad had the fish and chip shop on the Leys, next door to Mary Nixon's sweet shop, for a great many years until they finally had to move out in 1969, to make way for the development of the St. Lawrence Way. Also, my Aunt Clara worked in the Free Gardners Social Club, which was right opposite our house in King Edward Street.

Thank you for this glimpse of Darlaston I left in the 60's I have memories of growing up there. all the best from Australia & thank you again so enjoyed it! Cheryl

You Came To My School When I Was In Year 5 I’m In Year 9 Now and thanks for letting me know about all of this Edit: Now I’m in year 12, how time flies (4/8/21)

Full of detailed information. A fantastic documentary. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤A lot of effort has gone into this.

I remember the thundering presses at Garringtons which made the ground outside shake. Passed it every day on my way to school.

Love my town

really enjoyed the last 10 minutes of the photos of darlo from the 1990's period. I moved from darlo in 1996- thanks for sharing

When I left school I worked at Dewhurst butchers just across from Kingston butchers , then a few years later worked at Charles Richards fasteners setting Boltmakers till the bad to close down

Now a days Darlo has Asda Boots and Heron and if you want more you get the 34, 39, 334 or 37 to Walsall and you could get the 79 to Wednesbury
