Hi Ashlley hope you are keeping in good health, are you like me retired ? a lot of the old ones have died Bill Newbould, Billy James,Des Hickinson must be getting on, do you see Alex Gaymond, or Les Hawley,nice to see Tony Middleton is living in Bridlington, i had 2 aunts that went to live there in 1953, they loved it, when i left Dunfords i went to work at Tiffanys on London road i stopped there for 12 year,then i had to give up work to care for my mother who was very ill, i did that for 20 years untill her death in 1998 at the grand age of 96,i have got Parkinsons disease, just found out in January this year,so i am on medication to try to control it, it's been glad to send this message to one of the old workmates, pity we don't know how to contact the other men. i wonder if Tony Middleton has still got those photo's he took of us all in the back yard, do you remember that, i bought a set off him, i've still got them, the group photo is framed and on my bedroom wall, all for now, but try to keep in touch, LES CROFTS

is there anyone out there who remembers the Queeny family who lived at 20 Baltic road ? they had 2 sons and one of them demonstrated the yo-yo in Banners toy department in the late 50's or early 60's.

My favorite was Billy Bunter of Greyfriers school. with Kynastan Reeves as the headmaster.

Welsh girl did you live next door to the Davenports,on one side and Wathall's on the other side to you.

Barry Hutchinson of Candow street played football for Chesterfield football club in the late 1950's

sorry Bobsville but the Green Dragon was on the corner of Attercliffe road and Baldwin Street not Bodmin street according to my 1929 Kelly's there was no pub on the corner of Bodmin street.

The proper address for the central ballroom was church lane not zion lane, there was an emergency exit on zion lane only.

Are there any old mates on here like Colin Eyre, Ashley Jenkinson, Tony Smith, David Twelves, Les Hawley, Pete Bownes,Les Crofts, Bill Newbould, Billy James, Des Hickinson,Alex Gaymond, Phil Toyer, Tony Middleton, Neil Jenkinson. Brian Glaves.

Yes it was a beer off, on the opposite corner was another shop owned by Byron Heselwoods sister.

Thank's Pat for your reply, did you know Bill was made redundant before xmas, well they got in touch just after xmas and he is back there on full time. So that's good news. I am now 68 so too old to work. all for now. LES

It is now a car park, it was also knowm as Central Ballroom,and it was above Webster's, in the early day's it belonged to Jefcock and sims coaches.
