In the old days - well before young people began dancing
with bottles of beer in their hands and older folk started walking through water
at the baths instead of swimming through it – Chris went off to Keele
University. The following year we got married and she got a transfer to
Liverpool University.
Though she travelled home most weekends, I sometimes visited
her at Keele during late 1971 and early 1972. I travelled by train to Crewe and
on to Keele by bus. I remember that the bed in her halls bedroom was challengingly
narrow, and that the Electric Light Orchestra provided the musical
accompaniment to all halls activities – throughout the day and all along the
corridor. On this occasion, in October 1971, I also took some monochrome photographs
of the [now] classic traction action on Crewe station.
