Our sports ground was there underneath the flyover. Needless to say that never used to be there. Marsh Mills with the emphasis on Marsh! I’m surprised you could build anything there let alone a Tesco.

Old Suttonian?

Being a West Cornwall man, I am unable to contribute any pictures to this thread, but appreciate those who have submitted copy I recognise.
I wonder if anyone remembers an aircraft embedded in a house along Alma Road in 1959/60/61, or perhaps has a photograph of it. Taking the bus from the city centre to Milehouse for Argyle matches, I recall passing this amazing sight, which, so I was lead to believe, occurred during the war.

Remember it well.

My friend Jenny Morphew who is now here in Ottawa, her father was the Brewmaster at Plymouth Brewery back in the 60's and funnily enough their last name was Hopper.

On reflection, my addled old brain thinks it was in paradise Road.

What a fantastic asset that was! Free swimming for the proles!!
I used to get a bus from St Budo to the City Centre with my cossy and a rolled towel.
Getting a bus into your City Centre to swim in sea water! How many other 'citizens' in this country or worldwide could do that when they were kids? Fabulous!🏊‍♂️
Don't even start me on a bike ride to Whitsands!!
