On VE-day I was able to look down on the celebrations taking place in Saturday Market from the bay window above my grandparents shop, 26 Market Place. The window is still there but the shop has been taken over by The Push Inn. The Market Place was crowded all day and everyone was very excited. In the evening there was dancing. The band was in front of the Yorkshire Penny Bank. I was only 5 years old at the time and the memory is still very vivid.
