The street which has links to Lewis Carroll, Anneka Rice and a Minion

Talk about a street with history. Thompson Road is full of it.

Have a look at these nine Echo archive photos spanning from 1967 to 2016.

They show how Thompson Road can boast links to Lewis Carroll and hosted visits by Phil Tufnell and Anneka Rice.

Throw in a Minion, Brownies and the witches hat playground ride and it's a real mix of memories.
