There was a cofee bar just off Hockley,Kenya,popular with the Mod crowd,was it on Stoney st?

I remember it, I recall it was on the same street as the Angel Inn? They served frothy coffee in glass cups & saucers, very trendy, but it always felt like a 'Jazz' place, lots of Beatniks etc polo necks, duffle coats, corduroy 'keks' & beards !rotfl!

"There was another one on the 2nd floor of a building just past there in the Lace Market but the name and location evades me."

I wrote about this ages ago but I can't find it now. We used to go to the BO, (not B.O.) at the top of Victoria Street just down from where that Wetherspoons is now. That was up 2 flights of stairs, and I sometimes think how glad I am that it never caught fire. The woman who ran it was dark and mediterranean looking, with long hair, but she was no spring chicken. She always had good music on, sometimes a bit classical, at least I thought so at 15 or 16.

I heard Paul Smith saying on Radio Nottm that he used to go there, but he is older than me and I would not remember him anyway. I'm glad someone else remembers it though.

The Paprika Pancake House was up two flights of stairs in the Lace Market. It was owned by the guy who ran ther El Toreador on Burton Street. We used to call him Creeping Jesus on account of his beard.

Thought it was Goldsmith St, but maybe I'm wrong too.

Katyjay, you're probably correct, I went on Google Maps last night, all up/down Shakespeare street, recognised nothing, I'll have another 'butchers' at Goldsmith tonight. The son of our English Teacher worked in the place, name of Welton first name unknown.............but when I was next in school the Mr Welton sked me why I was frequenting such a 'bohemian haunt'.............weren't grown ups strange!! :unsure:

If I remember correctly, it was on the same side as the old playhouse and further on towards the Arboretum. Someone I knew called it The Hairy Legs, cos it was always open!
