When I was 19 I used to work on Parliament Street in Harrogate, and walked there from the far end of Knaresborough (Farfield Ave), and back every day...no problem.
Driving it now makes me tired.
What was the business you worked at Graham?
Remember Busby's,nicholsons music centre (bought hard days night there) Betty's still booming people queing up to pay way over odds for a tea and scone
