memories from Frank Hughes

Lark Lane  was the  "Hunting Ground " for a group of boy's and myself from the Princes Park area. One of the MOST popular BOY/GIRL meeting places was the Milk bar directly opposite the Albert Pub.
 

In the early 50's the same group of lads were all in the Merchant Navy ,and having come home from a sea trip we would all make our way to the Albert or Masonic for a few beers followed by a visit  to the MILK BAR  (our hunting ground ).                                                                          

The Albert at that time had a men only lounge which had a etched glass door with the OFFICE inscribed on it .The tale told was if you went home late after a drink or two you could tell the Mrs your were working late in the OFFICE . is it still there ?
 
It was following one of our visits to the  "Milkie " I met my wife and now celebrate our 53rd  wedding anniversary.
 
As you will appreciate LARKIE brings back found memories , and wish the area every success.
