Hebden  Bridge: 1920's

I took myself to Bacup today. I visited Bob.here are some photos I took.Lovely bloke

So the  sepia saturday theme this week is "bridge"
As I was in Hebden Bridge this weekend. How could I resist? 
I turn 65 on Sunday.

people say believe half of what you see




Had me  a long talk with Norman Perry.I told him about how I used to live & work in the East End of London.what a nice bloke.

We went to The Upper George Pub .


i am hoping to go to this.Expect photos.
