Do you remember Bunky-Doo-dalee-do, the accordion man of Buckland? | Nostalgia
Bunky’s real name was Alfred Nicholson.
He used to help run the boys’ club in Fratton Road, opposite St Mary's Church and was well known for his Meccano skills at one time constructing a large model of either the Queen Mary of Queen Elizabether liners.
He played his accordion at parties and to the queues outside cinemas.
Bunky also sold the Football Mail at the top of Sultan Road, Buckland. Indeed, Buckland is our theme today.
