The building is now called 'Ocean' and was known for many years as the 'Astoria' and it's officially classed as being on Greyfriar Gate.

 

This is a recent photo; the entrance steps, the side of the club building, and the next building on the far left, all fit your photo.

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm collecting old photos and video to do with Pidcock Motorcycles for our anniversary. 

 

I was told that the TV series Boon did some filming in Long Eaton with someone buying a motorcycle from our store. I want to pin down the series and episode - and hopefully acquire a video clip. 

 

I have a theory that, based on a colleagues search, it might be series 6 episode 11, but I'm not 100% sure.

 

Any Boon enthusiasts who can help?

 

Thanks very much in advance.

 

Joe

If that is correct, according to Wiki the episode is titled 'Bad Pennies'.

Series 1 Episode 12 is probably not Long Eaton.  The early series were made in Birmingham; it didn't come to Nottingham until Series 4.

 

And when did Pidcock Motorcycles start in Long Eaton ?  Looking at old telephone directories, there is no Pidcock Motorcycles listed there at least up to 1984.

Incidentally my ex wife had an aunt who owned a posh house in Ruddington. Manor Park I think.

That house was used by Central TV for filming in the Boon series.

Aunt was paid £400 per day when filming. A nice wedge in those days.

Hi, did this house belong to the Wolfe family? Remember the series. Mrs B
