Mapman   10 #14 Posted March 23, 2018 Dominic Wragg and "Stagger" Lee both lived on Rokeby Drive, where I lived. Dom had 2 sisters, Philomena and Stellamaris, he also had a younger brother whose name escapes me. There was a pub on the other side of the Greyhound further up toward Sycamore Road. We used to buy iced dandelion and burdock lollies from that pub. Again, it's name escapes me. Directly opposite The Greyhound was a small but busy fruit and veg shop. Does anyone remember the old bicycle shop on the right hand corner of Sycamore Road. Was it Camms? (on the opposite corner from Cramptons).

Mapman   10 #16 Posted March 24, 2018 Yes, it was Conway Cutts! And yea, it was the Sortsman with the offy round the back. Do you remember a little further up High Street, on the right opposite Rawlins infant school, was an old stable/ garage set back off the road, with a car steering wheel mounted above the door.
