"There were buses, yeah, bus loads of em."

I used to go everywhere on a bicycle – I lived in Glastonbury High Street. Then I got married and moved to Cheddar and still commuted into Glastonbury, to the factory, every day.

There was lots from up Mendips came down here to work in Baily’s. They used to bring ‘em down by coach when the mines closed and they had no work up there. Baily’s had a coach that used to bring ‘em down from up at Radstock where the coalfields were. There’s quite a few down here who I knew from up Coleford.

My dad worked in the Sales Office. He considered himself fortunate to have a bicycle to get to work from my grandparents’ house in Street where we lived. It meant that he could go home for lunch each day. Most workers had to walk but those from further afield came by bus – some people may remember the row of bus stops opposite the main building.

And I came whizzing round on my bike, and the car park was opposite the machine rooms. I skidded down a bit of a slope, and the bike just went one way, and I went the other way! It was a bit icy I suppose, and of course, everybody was looking out the window, and I thought oh God, how embarrassing! I had to get up – I was dirty – and put my bike in the rack, and of course first thing when I went in was “Oh, sorry I saw you fall off your bike and are you alright?” And you think, Oh God!

Oh it was lovely! Yes, I walked to work every single day. Even in that snow in the 60s, I walked from up on Windmill Hill. In the town, through the town, out the other side. Down by Snows and down to Baily’s. Nearly every single day.

When I started here, I was living at Somerton, and I had a scooter – a Lambretta. Then I bought a bubble car, and course you were driving it on a motorbike license so you didn’t have reverse.

It used to be two double-deckers and single decker go through here every night. One of the double-deckers went up Windmill Hill. Well, the first one what left, all the Clarks workers got on that and if you lived up Windmill, you’d get on the one what stopped at the bottom of town, so you had to walk the rest of the way.
