What a great away shirt. They should bring it back.

Looks like Jim Bone although at first I thought of David Staniforth.

Peter Shilton the keeper.

I’d love to know what it’s being built as, business or private home. It’s certainly very modern.

Almost certain it's a private dwelling.

The veranda is the point of the building looking down the road at the shops. It is a covered area or balcony.

It's not big at all and took ages to get planning permission and then start.

My nipper is in the architect trade, i'll get him to find out.

I think it was listed as Thorp Close?

Looks like Woodhead Rd. to me, not one of my old stomping grounds but I do go more there more these days.

 

[SW12 to S12 to S18]

That looks surprisingly the same now!

The shiny new building on the old police station / glory hole site at the Manchester Road/ Fulwood Road junction is to be a residence I believe.

Thank you.

You always knew you were home when you could see the floodlights from the train windows.

Yes, Jim Bone. Peter Shilton had just made a save in the 1-1 draw in October 1973

Cyril, the Hole in the Road tramp

He was found dead in the city centre during the cold winter of 1976-77. The death made the front page of the Star. Cyril was always walking round the subway with his mouth wide open

In the doorway of Rebels/Penthouse on Dixon Lane IIRC.

I'd be surprised if it ended up as a private dwelling. Land + build must be at least £1m and for what? On a very busy junction, bus routes, hordes of students etc. Plus the wall on the Manchester Road side has tiny 'windows' and the whole thing looks very 'utilitarian'. My money's on a dental surgery or clinic but they've claimed it's a 'private dwelling' to get PP. Rather like the 'tea room' at the junction of Manchester Road/Lydgate Lane.

Bert remembers that, they found him in a shop doorway.

I remember all the crap about the tea room - some poxy small building became a massive "tea room" which then became a bigger house.

I won't go into anything about the local planning dept staff - it would be X rated.

My money is still on a private dwelling - there appears to be zero parking being developed even underneath the 1st floor. Quite intrigued as to what it will eventually be.

I thought that was Bert's early selfie attempt from the spice streets of Lincoln

1-1 draw at Maine Road on May 6th 1967

Believe it or not, I designed those benches (and the handrails nearby). And no, that's not me testing my work!

You'd like to think we've moved on since those days, but we haven't.

What a great away shirt. They should bring it back.

I doubt red and white diagonal stripes instead of red and white vertical stripes would be accepted as averting a colour clash these days. I'd bring it in as the first team strip.

It's in Shrewsbury Park now just off Granville Road.

Norfolk Road? Has it been moved?

"flaunching" makes its forum debut.

Mid feather failure been forumed before?

I think flaunching may have been an old fashioned version of flouncing.

Is that Mike Summerbee who looks like he's just headed or kicked the ball?
