Gunner   11 #13 Posted October 21, 2004 Quite right Timo  I had a chuckle too. It could not have happened to a better guy. But, To coin the old phrase, They were the good times. We all seemed to have a good laugh, Even after a good arguement no-one held a grudge. Just as well I would be hated. But, Yes i remember Inga. Also the bookies. I think the most trouble came from the oldies in the Conservative club. ha ha ha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
timo   10 #14 Posted October 22, 2004 Rodgers, glad you agree re miserable old Beedham [say "Good morning" to him, and he was stuck for an answer...]. Yes, the Con Club could be like Dodge City at times, according to my late Gradfather, who was a member! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
feederfil   10 #15 Posted October 22, 2004 I remember the Dallas bar well,I was just going through my first divorce and what a place this was to meet young or older ladies!I never saw any trouble there allthough sometimes there was a bit of tension in the air!The last time I went in though the bouncer a scottish guy called "jimmy" gave me a chair leg and said be ready the shirecliffe lads are coming down!!I turned round and went back up the road to the Forum a lot safer place.At the same time as the Dallas Bar there was the Amsterdam bar at Huddersfield and also one in Wakefield which i think was called the New Yorker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Gunner   11 #17 Posted October 26, 2004 HI! Tara.  I knew a guy called Tom, At that time he would have been around 58. I think it would have been the next to the end house on the side of the Dallas. I lived at no. 10. A very old lady lived at 12. A guy that owned a shop at Firth Park Lived at 8 with a teenage son called Andy. I knew lots of people to talk to and say hello. I did not know many by name. I was a very busy man at that time The dates I was living in the area would have been 1979 to. 1983.

Gunner   11 #20 Posted October 26, 2004 A friend of mine used to run the print shop at the rear of the Dalls. In the Dallas Yard as we called it. There was also a joiner that used to make spirit levels etc. A mechanic. This was a busy yard. I was wandering what has happened to them.

tara   10 #21 Posted October 27, 2004 Yes rodgers that sounds like him. I think he worked at shardlows. He passed away in his late 60s around 92 . so that would be about right. I think he moved from ecclesfield rd in 80s. In the 60s i use to love going to there house, as the trains ran at back by there. I remember a lounge to the right with a big piano in it. you had to go down some steps for the kitchen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
