Fletchers bread tastes of lead
If you eat it you'll drop dead

Mind you the Elephants feet were bloody marvellous

The elephants feet were a personal favourite of mine too. I used to think we'd gone all posh when we actually got them

Bloody he'll SEB , I haven't been down there for years . Well, not sober anyway ! Are the stocks still outside ? Any woodhousers care to share who ( or what ) was Fred Hardcastle . And how about ' prudo ' from the bottom of Normanton Springs !?

Long time since I left and I don't get back that often. As far as I know the stocks are still there. I'll leave others to answer the Hardcastle stuff and the Normanton Springs stuff, suffice to say I had an uncle lived in the springs for years.

Duke Street junction with Bernard Street

Think you've posted this before. Oddfellows on the left corner. Diagonally opposite was the New Inn. Further down on the right, think that's the sign, was the Park and District Conservative Club with the Red Lion a few yards further down.

It's a new one to me, I think. But somebody else may have posted it before.

When I was a kid and my Dad went out in the evening I used to ask him where he was going and he used to say "Unky Funks, where t'ducks fly backwards!!" I found out years later that he was actually going down to t'Oddfellows for a few ...... what a disappointment, as a kid I would have loved to have seen them ducks flying backwards

You don't remember this place in Rotherham ?

Canklow Rd?

 

[Numpty's Dusty Ruts.]

In an age of micropubs and microbreweries this place was unique in the early 80's. Brewery was in the cellar and you could see it through a window in the floor! At one time they brewed Britain's strongest draught ale, "Roger and Out" named after the landlord, Roger Nowill. Other beers were available, but why bother?!?

Looks all shiny and new...

I was going out with a girl from Newark at the time. "borrowed" the firms Ford Anglia van and drove down to Newark, took her to see The Beach Boys then drove her back to Newark. Did about 150 miles that evening but it was worth it.

Cambridge Street and the old Hippodrome theatre:

[Paisley Blade]

Once chatted at length with him whilst he was playing with us , on a National Express between Newcastle and Wetherby , where he alighted to collect a new car.

Said hello to him in the queue at Julie's on the Quayside in Newcastle about a week later and he looked straight through me.

Was a blow to a 18 year old's ego I can tell you, but not a bad life lesson .

Alexandra Theatre, demolished to create what is now Castlegate
