Re: Years Gone By

wow lots of nostalga and memories on this thread.

who remembers the EJ Riley shop which was opposite Argos on Little Blackburn Road I used to go in most Saturdays to add to my subuteo collection( which I've still got 35 plus years later). I remember Woolworths being in an L shape and in the Union Street bit they had the fresh meat counters

I think the demolition of Ken Cleggs on bull Bridge and the pub next to it was the early 80's rather han the early 60's

Does anybody remember the cafe that the bus drivers used in the market hall that you accessed from the bus inspectors office it was always a haze of blue smoke but the meals were really good and cheap from what I remember as a kid

On another thread somebody mentioned there being a bar on the peel street side of the bus station next to the newsagents, it rings a slight bell but can anybody recall it's name
