Yes , UCLA was the dry cleaners, they were in between the Magnet and Pavillion cinemas on the opposite side of the road.

 I also remember the clayton "Wars "  although it was mostly chucking stones at each other across clayton vale 

We used to play snooker on Friday evenings at the little clubhouse at Tootal's factory on Ten Acres lane .

Hi Parky

Not sure about that, but I do seem to remember a tripe works in the vicinity ? and a little cobblers right on the hump of the hill going up church street from the Magnet, I used to get the cork studs in my football boots changed there

Yes the tripe works was on orford rd off briscoe lane the building is now a garage, the cobblers/sports shop on the bridge was run by two brothers.

I remember hanging out at the cleaners and asking American military men if they had any gum. Used to collect all the different US badges.
