Old Photos For No Reason Whatsoever

[Harrisblade]

Some were tiny holes in the ground to reach easily mined surface seams, but these were soon worked out. The proper 'pits' were all to the South East of the City and IIRC one at Woodhouse was still going into the 80s. Obviously slightly further afield, Kivvo, Dinno, Maltby, Thurcroft, Shireoaks, Manton, Cresswell kept going into the 90s until Thatcher and MacGregor achieved their masterplan.

I take it the No. 28 written on the runway is the length in metres?

Don't be silly.

It's feet

Those top two pictures especially evoke some good childhood memories for me. Getting taken to Hagenbachs for a Gingerbread man, sometimes going to the Cafe up on the Gallery. Getting a toy from the market if I was good. Cheers LS26BLADE I enjoyed that.

Now, where the fuck did it all go wrong!!!

State of the art entertainment from my chid hood .. by the looks of the score on
the game it was Utd vs Fulham !!

Had it, loved it. Very very basic by todays standards I know, but at the time if you got one of those you were a lucky kid.

Nice, always wanted a Cortina. My Dad once had a Mark 3 Estate, white with the vinyl roof.

Oh yes. Like most of the cars Dad has ever bought, by the time he got it, it had been ridden rough and put away wet!

Many trips to the Caravan at Chapel St Leonards in it though.

 

[snootyfenooty]

You're spot on about that. Well done.

I went back and dug out the photo's and answered my own question about the Skoda 100 v Renault 10. Yes, it's definitely a Renault 10 for the reasons you've mentioned and I mentioned too in the photos.

And I think you're right about the Triumph 2000 as well. Oh well! I got one out of three!

(And I thought I knew about cars! Must get my bloody eyes tested!)

Which is pretty much what I said in the first place.

 

[Bert]

Nope. But close.

The cars in the top photo are (possibly) a Triumph 2000 as you say, although it could also be a Triumph Dolomite, it's hard to tell. It is a Ford Cortina for sure, but it's the Mk 2 not the Mk 3. And the other car, the one passing Timpson's, is a Skoda.

The Skoda. Bert passed his driving test in one of those at Dodd Street test centre.

I'm pretty sure the family string had the MK3 and MK4 in precisely the colours here. I'd like to bet String can remember the registration plate of the MK3 - the Mk4 was DBM257T

Is that the Lotus Cortina? Think that's the model that Aaron Kaufman from Gas Monkey Garage customised for a hill race once. Brilliant car

It is a Lotus Cortina, The Bearded wonder had a Ford Falcon

Hopkinsons Toy Shop?

I can't remember the name Shaun, but very possibly. I think there might have been a couple of toy places in the market? Another place I'd get a toy from was just up the road at Woolco (think it's a Wilkinson's now?)

Also the visits to Santa's Grotto in the old Co op.

Too young for Wilson Gumperts then!

Turner's was another Toy store in there. Think there was another one as well, in the middle of the upper floor.

I stand corrected.

BTW he has a new series on Discovery next year following him in his new venture focusing on the F100 truck.

Or maybe number of flights in a year?

Its how many months it operated for.

Child of the 70's so possibly, I've heard the name before though.

Wilson Gumperts was in Fitzalan Square wasn’t it? I think it became part of Redgates but my memory might be playing tricks.

Yes. Didn't mean it was in the market. Was eventually owned by Redgates.

Redgates, now there was a shop.

A few years ago, when Ms Crab worked at Little Chef head office, one of the suppliers she dealt with was hoping to resurrect the brand. Not sure if anything ever came of it sadly.
