This is from a thread about old cafes on here years ago. 

 

 

Anyone remember the Disc Jockey on London Road ? Very popular for a long time in the late '50's and early '60's.Owned by Harry Hart at some stage. He had been [or later became ?] the landlord of the Red Lion at the back of the City Hall. He later got the Sidewalk on Chapel Walk ---another fantastic meeting place in the '60's.

Big Harry Brown was another G , I worked with him , we never had a break or dinner time , keep going 8 hours a day . I think the builder was Peter Proctor or Dennis Ledger from Dronfield .

Harry Hart also owned the wallpaper shop almost next to the Sidewalk Cafe on Chapel Walk.

Was Jack Cadman one of those bricklayers ?

Harry Hart married David Lidgard’s mother, they were running The Ladybower where David put a pistol to his head and pulled the trigger, she was distraught, poor woman.

I think Arden's lasted a bit  longer than that, Jack was still the site foreman for them at Union Carbide (Claywheels Lane) in 1987. Ken Longley was his No 2.

Hi Arden’s had two brothers who worked for them I think one of them served his time with them second name wild goose think it was the younger one they worked for hassles in 60s good bricklayers   They had to be with hassels  prices
