D'you know how many times I've been in a big shiny car? Twice in 60 years. And I'd just like to do it once without a wet hanky in my hand.
Ena Sharples is always great but this is a classic

Coronation Street - written by Jack Rosenthal (2nd September 1964). Stan - reveling in his new job as a chauffeur - takes his friends for a spin (unfortunately he's sacked the same day after the car is returned in a less than pristine condition).

Evocative description of when Edgware was home to a slice of Floridian Americana, when the Green Man was the "Everglades Exchange"

It later became the Wacky Warehouse and is now a Harvester

From The @TimesArchive 5th May 1984

[Rose Wild @TimesArchive]

@Fhamiltontimes Wow congrats Fiona. Delighted to hear it

[Mill Hill Hist Soc @MHHistSoc]

Edgware development 60 years ago.

Equitable House later became Premier House and has recently been converted to housing rather than offices.

From The Times archive 1961 and 1962

Great to see Maude Davies, manager of the picture library, being recognised via today's @TimesArchive article.

Her indexing system is still being used today - lovely to see wooden rows of the card catalog!
