  1. It gets worse. My father Rex Harvey NOT of the Musters Hotel also had a brother named Charles although he was know by his second name Stan.
  2. Hello and welcome Stan. My parents and myself as a wee bairn lived at 32 Ford Street St. Mary approx 1957 to July 1959 when we moved out to Eastwood. I wasn't quite a 3 year old when we left so I can't help you with the names you mention. My parents frequently told me stories of Jack Carlisle's shop - must have been on a street corner somewhere near to Ford Street. For some reason even now I can remember number 32 quite well even though we never went back there after we left.
  3. This brings back a memory of the past. I should start by pointing out that my Father was Rex Harvey but NOT Rex Harvey of the Musters Hotel. My father set up in the motor trade with his own business and at the time we didn't have telephone. We had a telephone installed and BT (or whatever it was then) gave us the number 68591, Langley Mill exchange. After the phone was installed we were perpetually getting phone calls asking for the Musters Hotel. There were also other phone calls asking more specifically for Rex Harvey at the Musters Hotel. My mother was starting to have kittens wanting to kn
  4. Hmm. I had never heard of him. I have not found any Samuels in my family tree but I wonder if he was related.
  5. Well thank God for that. Someone on here younger than me. I was two months short of being 8. Can't really remember much about it until something jogs my memory.
  6. Rover 100, 1961. Must be 1960 built as it was registered 1.1.61
  7. I have one of those parking lamps on Evilbay at the moment. Not the easiest things to sell!
  8. I am led to believe that the current Shelton Street is not quite in the same place as it is in Cliff Tons map and it now finishes opposite Lamartine Street
  9. Am I right in thinking that Shelton Street would be behind and to the right of the cameraman?
  10. There was a Squire and an Escort. One had 'woody' trim on the side and the other didn't. Can't remember which was which now.
  11. I think its a bit sad when some people have got nowt else to do than sit on yer computer going through YouTube for stuff like that!
  12. I bet it'll go up in value. i was just wondering about these Rolf Harris EP's I have got that were bought for me when I was a wee bairn
  13. We have a hymn tune that is also the German National Anthem. Not often heard these days though
  14. Not quite my first car or how much it cost - but - that car on my avatar is a 1961 Rover 100, actually registered on New Years Day '61. It is a Nottingham City registered car. My father bought it in 1991, I inherited it when he died. I have quite a lot of history with it and it was owned for many years by one John Herbert who had a jewelers shop on Trinity Square. The shop went when Trinity Square went a few years back. John Herbert is now a jewelers on Wheeler Gate but I suspect that it is just a business name. John Herbert evidently sold the car in September 1981. I have invoices dating back
