zakes   68 #12 Posted May 10, 2012 Brown Cow on MoWbray Street. Eighties.  I used to go in the Brown Cow (Wards) in 1971 – 72 time, usually at Friday tea time. At that time I was working at Wigfall’s television depot also on Mowbray Street, at Bruce Works. On those Fridays us van lads and depot workers received our wage packets of between 5 and 6 quid (excluding overtime) and 3 or 4 of us would go boozin’. First port of call was the Brown Cow that had a half decent juke box with things like Maggie Mae / Reason to Believe by Rod Stewart, and the latest T-Rex stuff etc. I supped Newcastle Brown which I always ordered (requested) with a lamentable attempt at a Georgie accent. It got to the stage when one day the landlady threatened to have me thrown out if I didn’t start to speak properly. I quickly returned to my Sheffield accent and became a good boy after that.  Aftet Brown Cow we’d go in’t Manchester Hotel (also Ward’s) and play pinball and listen to Loop Di Love by Shag and Make me an Isle by Joe Dolan on’t music box. Then finally off to The Big Gun (Stones) for table football and playing tunes from the jukebox like, Tracy by The Cuff Links, Julie, Julie from the White Plains and What are you doing Sunday? By Tony Orlando and Dawn etc.  A few doors down from the Brown Cow was a post office (mentioned in post 11), and working in the post office was a lady aged about 60ish. I suppose she was paid a wage but she did sell sandwiches hot or cold. She also sold packs of fags that were piled up high on her side of the glass or grid (obviously). On the odd occasion I would go into the P.O. and order a fried egg sandwich. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
