denshaw 2,871 Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 I don't think it was an old church, turn right near Queens head and it was up a road on left hand side. They used to have disco's and live bands, possibly early eighties. Sorry for going off thread a bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fynger 841 Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 It was an old chapel......its on the main road thru Kimberley.....still doesnt look very dif'rent except the front has had its entrance changed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,871 Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 What was the name of the club in Kimberley that was popular in the late seventies? All i can remember is it being on the right hand side somewhere opposite the Queens Head pub. Just been googling, could it have been the old Railway station ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Didn't Bill Treacher play Arthur Fowler in Eastenders?? Dunno - but Arthur Treacher was the policeman in "Mary Poppins"! As far as I know, his only claim to fame - apart from the Fish & Chip places - they are still around, actually went through a bit of a resurgence a couple of years ago!

bamber 128 Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 The Arthur Treacher's chain was named after the actor. He was the company frontman during the early years, providing a suitably British angle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The chippy on Carlton Road just below Nags Head does mini fish and chips for £2.70, good value. Paulus, where was this Dungone club? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 And wages less than a Fiver... The only time I was on less than a fiver was the first two years of my apprenticeship. At 20 I was earning more than my Dad, and that was in 1967, and I had another year to go before I got tradesmans full pay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OLDACE 196 Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 In the early 70's it was run by Councillor Bob Churchill and his wife. Downstairs was a restaurant where you could buy a basket of chips and drink until 3 or 4am, sometimes you didn't bother buying the chips, or had one basket between a table. Did anyone else go there, or even know about this late night watering hole? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 not the Bob Churchill of later car scrapyard "fame"? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
