Adrian Varcoe
has lived in Filton his whole life.
One of his childhood memories is of a street party in Eighth Avenue
to mark the Queen's coronation in 1953 when he was eight years old.
"It's great to have the pictures as I was only a child at the
time ," Adrian told the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½.
The avenue is getting together again in 2002 to celebrate the Golden
Jubilee.
