At our February meeting, we were given an illustrated talk by Malcolm Trayhorn entitled
“Nostalgia, a trip down memory lane”
He took us from farthings through to the present-day monetary system, he brought along some of the old coins we used to use. He talked about the changing in fashion from the mini skirt and bellbottom trousers to the modern day. He also spoke about transport from steam to the present-day cars and buses and how the price of fuel has increased from the 60’s at £2.00 a gallon to the present price now in litres of around £1.50 a litre equating to around £7.00 a gallon. All in all a very interesting talk.
