Pool Valley

Hot bread rolls - 2d, old money

By John C Sharratt

My Pool Valley brings back some memories! I went to Clarks Commercial College. It was in an old hotel across the Old Steine and at play time we would cross over the road, and there was a side street that led into Pool Valley. There was a old bakery shop and we would get hot bread rolls - 2d, old money. Boy, I can smell them even now! This was back in the mid-1940s. Happy days! I´m coming up for 70 years old. I was born in Hove but lived in Portslade right through the war. I remember the bombing and many more memories.
