I remember Les Fox. His shop was not far from Tinsey Wire. I used to buy jeans & other work-wear from there.

Les and his family were regulars at Darnall Baptist church.

Me too, as a kid.

les fox brown coat, glasses you could use to see if a fly in doncaster needed a shave,everything in existence on racks around the shop which always smelt of parraffin. and up at the german bakers penny hovis miniature loaves-at the side of the school across from it was the shoe maker,who made moulders clogs and had a crocodile on the wall the place was always dark! at the side of the pavilion cinema was abarber who advertised durex which always seemed naughty

The old 'uns used to tell us, in the sixties, that if you supped a half-pint of beer,

in every pub on Attercliffe Road, between Weedon Street and The Washford Arms, you'd

be quite unsteady on your feet walking to the next pub, just before the Wicker.

Was that The oyl in't wall?
