  1. Yes Bob (My Uncle - no jokes about 'Bobs your Uncle' thank you!) is really Philamore Lincoln. For decades most people have known him as Phil and only a few of us as Bob.
  2. Ok I have found out that Mike was Cranson and the music career was never really a thing for him. He and his family are still all vegetarian. Bob his brother had a big laugh when asked about having a Swiss bank account.
  3. Thank you for your kind comments, which I will print off to pass on to other members of the family. As with a lot of electrical equipment they seemed to make them better and built to last in those days.
  4. If he road a Vincent motorcycle that would more likely be Mike (yes they did live on Valley Road) the youngest of the brothers. I think Mikes music career was very short lived as I don't remember it! but I do remember the bike. Bobs music career included a number 1 hit in the South of France, and also a song he wrote the music and lyrics to sung by Mary Hopkins called Temma Harbour (not sure I have spelt Temma correctly)which made it into the charts onto top of the pops and was danced to by pans people. Unfortunately no one at my school believed my uncle had written it as he was using a stage
  5. Peter still has 2 brothers, Bob and Mike. It was most likely Bob who played in the group as he went on to be a professional musician and writer. He used various stage names and played in quite a few groups so I will try to remember to ask them next time I see them.
  6. In respose to Dave (Loppylugs)question about Petes Electricals on Arkwright Street. As one of Peters children it was lovely to see your compliments about my father. Dad and Graham Richard opened the shop in 1963 (when I was a toddler). We are not sure at what stage the name changed to Peter Anson Electronics. The shop then moved to Bobbers Mill and became Peter Anson Ltd when Arkwright Street was compulsory purchased for redevelopment in the early 1970s. They had become a B & O dealer whilst still on Arkwright Street, at one time going on to become one of the longest serving dealerships. S
