Hi every one, this is showing our ages:blush: I remember going and seeing the church spire in 75-76. We walked down to what was left of the village. My Uncle worked for Taggys ice cream and he used to come when he had finished his rounds and he would give use a freeby can't afford them now lol. I loved Tiffinys spent a lot of happy hours there. Doe's any one remember the Vine at the bottom of the moor just 2 rooms, one with the bar in it and a tiny room with a juke box.

this is so good reading all these but can't beleive no one has mentioned the Buccaneer I lived in that place. Had friends from London who uesed to visit just to go there.

Did loads of my shopping at Chelsea Girl & Pippys

them were the days eh! :D

I remember the Buccaneer very well! Brilliant for the music and wall to wall totty, but not so good for the warm beer in plastic glasses. It was the place to be seen, even tho it was pitch black inside...

Then there was the slow stagger down to the Wimpy Bar on Fargate with the customary traffic cone on the head...Happy memories!:bday:

The Sidewalk Cafe. In the 60's often frequented on Saturdays by the likes of Joe Cocker. My big sis used to take me there when mum made her look after me at the weekends. Remember Joe buying me a doll for my birthday.
