   <description><![CDATA[Two quotes from the past week have prompted a couple of Newbury memories for me, from some 50 years ago.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Ford dealer in Newbury before Gowrings was Pass &amp; Co and their showroom was opposite Marks and Spencers in Northbrook Street. My father was the works manager there for years and our entry to the dealership, for my brothers and I, was usually through the showroom and down a pathway full of Fordson tractors to the workshops that were off of West Street. An occasional treat was for my brothers and I to go from his office to Chiver's Bakery in Pembroke Lane to get a original sugar/jam doughnut and a lardie cake to take home for tea. If I try hard enough I can remember what it was like to try to eat the doughnut without licking my lips and the wonderful smell that came from the bakery each time you got anywhere near the place.]]></description>

   <description><![CDATA[Unfortunately when an old person dies their relatives move in to clear the &quot;junk&quot; in the loft. Invariably this means that a treasure trove of old photographs and postcards are tossed in the skip and lost forever.<br /><br />If you ever find yourself in this situation, please give a thought to the possibility that some of these old photographs could be images that would help to compile a pictorial history of Newbury with views that have never seen the light of day.]]></description>
