Local resident got his hands on some local history gems!

Born and bred Lockleazer Stephen, who grew up in Lockleaze with his family, brought in two books for us to look through. These books, by Ian Haddrell and called ‘Britain in Old Photographs - Lockleaze Schools, and Lockleaze’ contain around 200 images each of Lockleaze from the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and beyond.

’’This fascinating collection of over 200 images of Lockleaze and Romney Avenue Schools has been compiled using pictured from the archives of the local schools, ex-pupils’ photographs and former Lockleaze residents’ personal collections.’’

Thanks so much for bringing these books in for us to read through Stephen - some of our Lockleaze legends will really enjoy looking through them and seeing if they can spot themselves, their classmates and family!
