Dallas bar

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

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!

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

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]

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]

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.

Live up on Standon rd, the land is earmarked for flats I believe, they've just put some fancy fencing round it though

I'll admit it, i did use to visit the Dallas Bar. It was great music and always a good night out. i used to go with a friend but i also met my first real love there. i don't remember seeing any trouble .
