50 Years' Ago ...
... on this date, within just 6 months of getting married, my first wife and myself moved into a brand new, 3-bedroomed semi~detached villa in which I've continued to live for half a century.
Beat that nowadays!

Think too, the fact that I married at a relatively young age [23] ... ... at a time when housing options generally were fairly plentiful, and certainly much more affordable for newlyweds, made a lot of difference.

In 1950 when I was ten years old I first met my stepfather and got to know my Mum and we all lived in a rented flat in the middle of town that had huge accommodation and a couple of out buildings also a large back yard with a small but nice garden. My dad being a business man (high class decorator) had a contract with the owner of the property of 10 shillings per week rent for life if dad would maintain the property as his own. So during my younger years I had never known about buying a house, I thought that people who owned a house had a car and travelled abroad were really well off, I bought my first home when I was 40 years old and went abroad for the first time at 47 years of age so the latter years of my life have been more educational to me with regards to home keeping and traveling. My dad lived in the house until one year before his death at 87 years of age with a rent of 50 pence per week.

50 years ago I had been living in York for less than 1 year, and had just left school and started my first job... trainee manager in a large shop, where I had already been working on Saturdays.
