A reader has shared memories of teenage visits to York, including trips to the Odeon cinema and local pubs.
A reader has written to the York Press sharing nostalgic memories of teenage nights out in York. The account describes a typical evening: taking a bus into the city, watching a film at the Odeon cinema, crossing the road to the Lion & Lamb pub for pints of Double Diamond beer, and finishing with fish and chips before catching the last bus back to Poppleton.
The writer recalls that such an evening cost only ten shillings, and admits to being underage when first sampling Double Diamond. The memories were prompted by a York Press feature titled 'Changing Blossom Street', which the reader describes as fantastic and evocative of their youth.
The reader also notes details of vintage York car registrations seen in the area, recalling their own grey Morris Minor with the registration TVY 419. Additionally, the writer mentions that the Lion & Lamb pub was renamed to The Nickel and Dime in 1987.
