Memories of Radstock

My son lives in Liverpool and his job is answering the phone for a bank. The other day he was talking to a chap who said 'what's that accent?' So he explained he was from near Bath. 'Oh that's funny I was evacuated from London to Radstock, specifically Clandown'. He asked if the trains were still in the centre. Is the market on every Saturday? No it's now a museum. But they had a good chat (he is 91) and he remembered workers cycling to Purnell's from Radstock. Funny that as my dad later on cycled to Purnell's. It's how he met my mother.
