Oops,sorry. I believe that David Cocker lived around there, rode a Matchless motorbike

 

Yes, there was family called Cocker that lived near there, perhaps Jamaica Street. Was one of the brothers called Melvin ?

Can't access 'photobucket' from my computer, I was at All Saint's infants and juniors until 1958. Did Jack Pidd live on Lyons Street near Earsham Street ? but Dave Sowter lived in Carwood Terrace.

Got one on Amazon a while back. Great read.

 

One venue not mentioned is the High STreet underground bar STringfellow ran around 1968/9 before the penthouse. I read this somewhere else that he briefly ran an underground bar on the High Street which apparently was a shoe shop on the ground floor. Now there were and have been a lot of shoe shops on High Street over the years so which one of these might have had an underground bar, apparently a large basement room which was big friday and Saturday night northern soul/disco event in 1968/9? Anyone know of a basement bar on the High street at this time which was a shoe shop upstairs? I believe it was apparently near the Old Bluebell but was this the Bluebell in 1968?

 

Down Broadway it's now a vintage clothes shop

Yes the club was called Down Broadway The Old Blue Bell mentioned is now Cavells the shoe shop was in the corner think it could be a recruitment agency now don't go to that end of town very often. Not 100% but think the shoe shop could have been Stylo.

Great times remember seeing Billy Stewart there he was brilliant.
