Fred Sadlers family (wife Marion and son David, an excellent musician who emigrated to NZ) was well known to me at Lund Park Methodist Church. But I usually had my hair cut at Jim Berrys in Low St. Also knew Harry Anderton. His 2 elder daughters also come to Lund Park Youth Club
PS correct Latin phrase is 'Benedicte benedicat'. Was always said at Uni (Nottm) Hall of Residence formal dinner.
I was a bit slow on the previous entry . Noticed that Denis had probably just had or would soon have his Golden Wedding . So cause for congratulations Denis and your lovely wife . May you have many more anniversaries. Mary and I clocked up our 64 th today . Tempos fugit to add to Benedicte Benedictat .
Sorry that I didn’t make It clear in my post - my wife died many years ago i’m afraid! Our Diamond Anniversary would have been celebrated On 26th September.. The date will certainly be remembered by me, but quietly!
There was a shop near to the Milk Bar which sold art work and picture frames. Edwin Ribey?
I think the shoe shop was Stylo. Midgeley’s On Cavendish Street had radios and gramophones and tellies. They also sold me my first Muddy Waters LP! What was the name of the hobby shop opposite where you got your Airfix models?
Brian - the Anderton girls were called Sandra and Penny.
We also knew Pat Seeking (of Seeking's tobacconist's).
Unlike you I was a regular customer at Fred Sadler's. Fred was a lovely man. You could tell him exactly how you wanted your hair cutting - then you always got the standard cut.
There was a "herbalist's" somewhere on Church Green. Can't recall what it was called.
