I REMEMBER THE HOLY CITY and Ma's Milk and Kellys Coffee Bar, The Vatican on Bradford Road.

SAUSAGE ARMS.  Dark Friday nights with 'Its only make believe'(Conway who ?)in my background,and somewhere deep 

in my future frontground,I would have experiences which would move me to write my thoughts down. 

But I REALLY loved Commercial Street, and I lived it. I still think of Woodside Crescent, Loved it

and lived it. And the steps through from Woodsome, and the ol' 52 White Lee Circular. Couldn't have

got anywhere without you. Rave on Batley Carr Working Mens and The Saw and St Josephs.Confirmation Day

1954.(Father Scannells memory still scares me now!) The Council School down the hill,

(threw bricks..sorry) just up the road from J.Don Leos Flower shop., May processions. Canary Islands

The Collins (and Max) The Rhubarb fields. The Gaiety Johnny Mullins. The Alligator Club and That night. 

The Batley News headline 'Little Chicago'! (photo by courtesy of Glens Photography. BATLEY) The Robin 

Hood Gang from Morley. I was in the Regent with Baz (RIP) watching 'The Mouse that Roared'.

Hey,and all these years later, Dennis..Foxy baby, medallion-man, STILL CRAZY
