I was once told that the area from the bottom of Staniforth Road to Worksop Road (maybe further) was, before the first world war, one of the busiest shopping areas in Europe.

 

I cannot remember who told me, but in my lifetime there were two Burtons five cinemas, numerous pubs and clubs and a myriad of small retailers, it may be true.

You have just brought a name back in my memory Miss Deacon, I was in her class. She used to have a group of us playing Post Office to get used to using money and counting /subtraction - I think she was a good teacher

The Music Hall was The Palace and one of the last to close, I remember going in to watch a show, the star was Danny Regan a local lad with a lovely tenor voice. The show was a revue with different sketches and songs, cant remember that much I was about 7.

 

When The Palace closed it became Brook Shaws Motor dealers. Almost next door was the Queens pub which has been derelict for about 30years. It si such a shame that these great buildings were abandoned or knocked down.
