Is that the olden days?
There's old fashioned cars
Why didn't they have colour?
People's clothes are a bit short
They still had stalls
They're going to do an Iceland there. |
They had lots of stalls on wheels and we have more
shops on their own.
That poster there isn't there anymore. That poster
is a bit bad because it has a cigarette on it. Now they have signs that
say "No Smoking."
Smoking isn't allowed on posters anymore because [like]
a kid can look at it and then they can find one and then they can smoke
it and that is bad.
It's very bad for you and your lungs. It can kill
you.
Smokng is bad for you because maybe you can get cancer.

It's all black and white.
This clock got taken down. Now it's been put back.
It's where my mum works.
It's tidier these days.
Now Bartons is a pound shop. |
| The flowers aren't there now. |

I went to Old Ford. We had to play games.
My mum goes here with me. I always look at the school. |

| There is a canal under the bridge. You can see the
boats go forward and back. The canal goes up to Victoria Park. |
