I WAS very interested to read ‘Back Through The Pages — Fifty Years Ago — Toni’s shut the doors (Advertiser July 6).

I have very fond memories of this cafe as my husband Brian and I celebrated our engagement there. After buying the ring at Bernfeld’s the jewellers (now H. Samuels) in 1964, we enjoyed sausage, egg and chips at Toni’s.

We have been married 52 years and spent all our married life in Northampton, although we both spent our childhood in Andover.

I return frequently to visit my old friends but find the town has changed dramatically.

If only we could turn the clocks back!
