Chris Vowles remembers the Croudace’s corner shop when he lived in Harold Street in the 1950s.

“It became Wooles’ afterwards,” he writes on Facebook. The late Roy Kennett who worked at Bradley also recalled the Croudaces’ Christmas Club. “3d a week bought a selection a wonderful variety of goodies. The difficult part was not consuming them before Xmas!”

And does anyone recall the St. James Dairy run by Mr Preece in Green Street?

Air crash

On a Sunday morning, possibly in August 1944, a single engine Proctor aircraft from Madley, crewed by a pilot with an instructor wireless operator and a pupil wireless operator, crashed near an orchard close to what was then the Air Training Corps headquarters of No. 124 Hereford City Squadron in Eign Road. The aircraft caught fire and the crew perished. A witness recalls chickens running about with their feathers on fire and soldiers from the Harold Street barracks endeavouring to fight the flames.
