Hi Nigewaggy I remember you, yes the shops were a great gathering place, a friend of mine Leonard used to live at the grocers, but having looked on google earth street view it would appear all the shops on Ainsley Road have gone, the co-op is no more neither is Mr Wilsons off licence.

Just had a look on the Evening Post website and read about the baths, jeez doesn't time fly over 40 years old. Does that mean the library across the road has gone as well??.

Hi Radford Boy
Spent many hours as you did on the Robert Shaw playing fields cricket, football, rugby and sliding on the ice when the fields flooded one year. Knew Ray Pugsley, Roland Scales, Mick Mellors, Roy Leivers, Aubrey Moult. Mate of mine, John Berry, used to live on Southfield Road most of us went to RS School. As you say the Co-Op used to be a gathering place for many as did the chippy on Ainsley Road. The waste ground eventually went when they built the swimming baths.

Hi Happy Jack, I lived on the est 50-early 70, the Newsagents changed hands and was owned by Bill Morley, at that time I had a paper round there. The Green Grocers when I knew it was owned by Mr Hoyes, as I used to pal up with his son Len.

School swimming lessons used to be Radford Baths, loved the hot chocolate from machine after.

Knew Brian and his elder Brother Paul(Smith) lived at the top of the crescent
Does anybody remember the big bonfires that used to be built for bonfire night on the wasteland at New Bridge, all that wood just seemed to materialise out of nowhere.
