I did on the odd occasion work at Barrow Hill round house back in the early 70's by that time though all the loco's based there were diesels. We used to go there to service the road vehicles based there when their mechanic was on holiday.

Me and Mrs Bartman had our wedding reception there in July 88...same day as the Springsteen concert. Can't remember much at 10pm that night ;-)

According to my wife I am still happily married !

Was that near the Red Lion? After I'd moved but I have a recollection of one there.

I remember Thompsons at the bottom just up from the Samson and the Barracuda below the street where the baths was. Plus a Chinese near the Barracuda. Pie and Peas shop a bit further up.

No it was near the bottom but I'm thinking after samson pub and them row of shops got demolished,we lived on crown place and Tony's chippy was more or less next door.

It was the Norfolk Arms. The North Pole was nearby, I'm sure, but I can't recall exactly where.

Wasn't the north pole pub just off Effingham road on your left going towards town?

The one just up from the Samson was Thompsons.

After the flats there was a cafe that did chip cobs and might have changed when the bottom block was demolished. Depends on what year we're talking.

Not quite up to your standard (or mine now!) but you'll appreciate this.

Mallard near the site of Beauchief station on its first test run from Derby after restoration to running condition (must've been the return run). '87 I think. Crappy 110 cartridge camera is my excuse for the picture.

Might have been Tony's to some then. I remember it as Thompsons which was the sign I think.

I first knew Rosita when she worked the vans.

Went into the shop once with my mate who was wearing a brand new sheepskin coat. A woman he knew in the shop asked who bought it him and Peter said "me". To this day ive never ever seen anyone go a brighter shade of red.

I was at School street so I'm a bit older. A fair bit

By 1976 I'd seen a woman naked....

The north Pole was off Effingham St ,I think it became a photo laboratory ,and now its a mosque I think. The Effing sandwich shop round the corner does a great bacon and tom dip.
