The 1950's were a time when.............
children played with all the other kids in the street only coming home when it was dark.
most mum's stayed at home and a family usually owned one car if they did have a car.
sixpence would buy a big bag of lollies from the corner milk bar
you could return soft drink bottles to the corner shop to collect the deposit, a great way to get a little extra cash.
