    I was born in '56 and went to Bluebell hill school. Lived at 12 Alfred Street South (the back yard was on Gordon Road) near a corner shop as I remember. I used to play in Stewarts Place (nice tree lined area I recall) and I seem to remember a "Mrs Coffee" in factit might have been next door. Moved in '62 to a house on Bluebell Hill road near the junction of St. Bartholomews Rd (Donkey Hill).In fact both my brother and myself lived on Donkey Hill but at different times in different houses.

    I think discussed b4, but isnt the premises on the right an Electric substation?

    Yes my Dad worked in the office there. When my mum took me shopping in the Co-op we would shout to Him and He looked out of the window and waved to us. Magic time as I didn't see a lot of Him due to the shifts he worked.At weekends worked with his brother for Jacklin (?) removals..

    Hi Eileeen.

    I worked for the EMEB in the mid 60s. Started out at Talbot street. Later moved out to Bilboro. Were you at either place?

    Anyone else on here ex EMEB? Once heard my buddy at the time telling a customer it stood for "Eight men, Eighty bosses." or Eat More Eggs and Bacon. Whichever you preferred.

    My dad worked at Talbot street he used to wave to me and mum when we went shopping at the Co-op

    His name was Douglas Eric Pendleton (known as Eric)
