Memories of Finedon
By Charles Needle
Memories are often very precious,
especially the happy one, and can so
easily be lost.
Quite often my dear late wife Blanche
(nee Lawman) would come out with
some pithy little saying that no one
had ever heard before. Unfortunately
they were never recorded and as a
consequence have been lost forever.
I was born in Eadys Yard, Well
Street in 1913 and spent the first
34 years there, so I was able to gain
a large knowledge of the Yards and
Alleys of the old town.
With increasing age and having more
spare time my family eventually
persuaded me to write a book of
memories and I must say that I have
been surprised at what has come
back to my mind, sometimes as a
result of a simple remark or question.
For instance when I was recently
invited to speak at the local School to
a class of children, one child asked
“did you have toothpaste?” you will
find my answer in the book.
One must surely be amazed at the
pace of advancements in every
sphere of life particularly
communication that has taken place
in the last century
I am so grateful to the Lord that he
has given me the ability to use
modern day means and link it with my
memories so as to be able to produce
this book.
