9. Purdy's Cafe
The in place to go in the City Centre was Purdy's coffee bar on Cathedral Square. A burger and coke was great if you could get a table. Photo: UGC

10. Stapleton's
On a hot summers day there was no better place to go than Stapleton's ice cream shop in Bridge Street. They sold loads of different hand-made flavoured ices. Photo: UGC

11. Cattle Market Road
If you fancied sweets the place to go was the Saturday morning market at Cattle Market Road. You would get, as they say now, 'loads of bang for your buck', and a fantastic selection of traditional sweets. Photo: UGC

12. Swimming at the Lido
The status symbol then was to be a season ticket holder and to swim every day come rain or shine at 7.30am before the hoards arrived later in the day. If you were lucky the water temperature would be around 68 degrees F. Photo: UGC
