The electrician’s shop was on the corner of the ground floor with the gym on the second and third floors. You entered the gym through that (now) red door. It was all free weights – you even had to load up the lat machine. The showers either didn’t work or delivered only cold water. Further along Lake Street was a grocer’s store where we used to buy a pint of milk to swig while we trained. The gym smelt of sweat and milk. I can smell it now. Happy days.

Denshaw, I can remember Pete Brownhill.

Never knew his last name for sure but thought it was Miller, small short blonde hair great dancer. Worked on the bins for a time, think he lived Woodborough Rd or St Anns area during the 60's & 70's. Not married when I knew him but went out with a friend of my wifes for a short time. I can vaguely remember a great bank holiday weekend at Skegness packed with mods & rockers.

Is Jan still about? Great fella, last saw him some years ago at the Elwes.
