"The York Road Street Saga" - as told to Uncle Tony E'Benn
Way back in September 1981, we started a Newsletter at York Rd with the intention of keeping the workforce informed as there seemed to be a void in communications up to then. This started as a single A4 sheet and progressed through the stages of monotyped A4 pages through to an A3 sized full colour publication. And sad to say, I have (almost) every single copy produced!
As it progressed we had amongst us a writer of short stories, and these became known as "The York Road Street Saga" - as told to Uncle Tony E'Benn. These stories were much sought after by all, including the management, who for some reason seemed to be able to associate the characters in the stories with themselves! Strange that as all characters within these stories were ficticious and hence any association was in the mind of the beholder!
I have unearthed these collector's pieces, scanned them in and posted them up on the site for all to share. If you know anyone that might like to read these through again, then by all means point them to this page!
Part 30 - The Final Part, written after Uncle Tony E'Benn's retirement & whilst in exile, has just turned up and is now on line. this was accompanied by a letter which it's hoped will appear once typed up!
These Saga's, like most of the other articles in these pages, were written between 1982 and 1990.
