1968 was a very significant year for Keynsham and for me.
!968, of course, was the year of the catastrophic floods which sadly took the lives of seven local residents, but on a different note it was the year that a fresh faced youth (me) and his family moved lock stock and barrel from their home of thirteen years in Hartcliffe in Bristol to start a new shoe repair business and a new life in Keynsham.
It was just a few days after the flood, and shortly after signing the lease for the old Boots chemist building that we arrived to find that the premises had survived the deluge and destruction that a lot of Keynsham had experienced.
