“The year was 1951, and life carried on—even in the shadow of a fortress.”

Not many can say they did their washing at the Tower of London! This rare glimpse into everyday life behind those ancient walls reminds us that history isn’t just battles and kings—it’s laundry days, quiet routines, and ordinary moments in extraordinary places.

Who else remembers when the Yeoman Warders and their families actually lived inside the Tower?

“Liverpool, 1895 — when the city moved to the rhythm of horse hooves and hard graft.”

A time when the docks were booming, chimneys smoked, and life spilled out onto the cobbled streets. No smartphones, no fast fashion — just strong hands, long days, and a deep sense of community. Every brick in this city tells a story, and every corner held generations of proud, working-class life.

Can you imagine the sights, the smells, the sounds of Liverpool back then?

“The summer of ’76 — when the sun never stopped shining and neither did the hosepipe bans.”

It was the year everything dried up — grass turned yellow, reservoirs ran low, and neighbours queued at standpipes with buckets in hand. But somehow, it still felt like magic. Ice lollies, paddling pools, and kids barefoot on hot tarmac. A heatwave that became a legend.

Who else remembers being sent out with a bucket and told, “Don’t spill a drop!”?

“Health & safety? Never heard of her.”Just look at that queue! One slide, twenty kids, and not a care in the world. No s...

“Health & safety? Never heard of her.”

Just look at that queue! One slide, twenty kids, and not a care in the world. No soft mats, no helmets—just scraped knees, big grins, and the pure thrill of flying down metal at the speed of childhood. This was fun before screens, when laughter echoed through the park until mum called you in for tea.

Who remembers when this was the best ride in town?

“‘Caution: Children Play Here’ — and we really did.”

Back when the streets were our playground and the kerb was base camp for every game. No tablets, no screens—just skipping ropes, marbles, hopscotch, and the sound of mums shouting your name when tea was ready. We knew every crack in the pavement and every neighbour by name.

Who remembers getting called in when the streetlights came on?

“You’ll be growing spuds behind them ears!”

If you didn’t hear this while getting your face scrubbed within an inch of its life, did you even grow up in a proper household?
Mum had a grip like a vice and a flannel that could take paint off a wall — but you came out sparkling.

Who remembers bath time battles like this? What were the sayings in your house?

The local shop — where a pound felt like a fortune!

From picking out your favourite penny sweets to sneaking a look at the ciggies behind the counter, this was more than just a shop — it was the heart of the neighbourhood.

Mars bars, Curly Wurlys, Hubba Bubba, and a kindly nod from the shopkeeper who knew everyone by name.

Who remembers popping in after school or on a Saturday morning with pocket money burning a hole in your hand?

Saturday mornings at Woolies — who remembers?

Mum pushing the pram, picking up a few bits, and us kids glued to the chart rack, flicking through cassettes and vinyl to see who made it to No.1 this week.

Madonna, The Eagles, Alison Moyet… and always that one single you just had to have — if you could convince Mum!
Did you rush to the music section like this? What was the first single you ever bought?

“When getting new shoes was a family outing… and they measured your feet properly!”
The legendary True-Form shop—where you’d press your face to the window, pick your Sunday best, and hope Mum said yes. Back when the sign read “Factory to Wearer” and service came with a smile (and maybe a toffee if you were lucky).
Shoes that lasted, memories that still do.

Tag someone who remembers standing on the measuring board in their socks!

We all had a pair of these back in the day!
The iconic Clarks “Joyance” – sturdy, shiny, and built to survive every puddle, playground, and Sunday best outing. You knew school was serious when these were polished and ready by the door.

Who remembers getting their feet measured with that clunky metal slide at the Clarks shop?
Tag a mate who rocked these with frilly socks or short trousers!

Only in the Swinging Sixties!
This incredible snapshot from 1968 London captures the future as imagined back then — two stylish ladies cruising through traffic in what looks like a clear-walled concept pod! Just behind them, a classic Routemaster bus, destination Putney, packed with curious faces.

Was it art? A promo? An actual vision for tomorrow? Who knows — but it’s pure vintage charm and retro innovation at its finest.

Who remembers the Harvest Festival at school?
That special time of year when we’d all bring in fruit, veg, and tins from home, proudly carrying our baskets to lay them down at the front of the hall — just like this lovely old photo.

Dressed in our best, singing “We Plough the Fields and Scatter” at the top of our lungs, not really understanding it all… but knowing it felt important.

A tradition full of heart, community, and giving.
Tag someone who used to walk into assembly holding a tin of peaches or a homegrown marrow!
