On my way home from school on the 31 bus I would stop off here for a haircut (if family funds will allow). By the time I was a teenager this was the place where I could comfortably buy “something for the weekend sir”. When I tried that with my barber, he lent me his fishing tackle. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

His mam Mrs Freely and her partner Wilf were the salt of the earth . Last saw paddy in 1971 before getting married and moving to Manchester Can well remember the sausage and onion cobs at Nora's caf'e ,and the hot peas and mint sauce for a tanner in Central market. I can remember the Duffield family one of them was quite athletic, chased me up st Ann's Well rd, me on a bike and him running. Luckily i eventually got away to survive the bashing that he was going to give me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Waddo 921 Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Tony Britton rings a bell but can't for the life of me think why, perhaps a bit more detail would waken the brain cells!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,497 Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Ooooh, I went out with Tony Britton for a little while, then I was rescued by the man I married .... otherwise I might have spent my lifetime selling spuds. Tony was a nice lad though, he passed away a couple of years ago, I think he was living Mansfield way. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

catfan 14,793 Posted February 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Spot on. Happy days. Mitchell's grocery store. Cliff Radford newsagent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,497 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Would Cliff Radford be related to the greengrocer Pat Radford? When I knew Tony Britton he was living with his parents on Mapperley Plains, opposite Spring Lane, the house has since been demolished. There was a mink farm down a lane at the side of the house. Tony had a very nice car ...... a Mercedes 280SL Pagoda ....... it’d be worth a fortune nowadays. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,089 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 I knew Pat Radford. He had a shop at the entrance of the Central Market. He was a friend of George Akins who I also knew. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,497 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 So did I know him, also George Akins but knew his brother Dennis better, a long long time ago. Pat Radford did a grand job organising the annual Market Traders Ball at the Albany, we had some great nights there in the 80s. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
