replied on: 12/27/2005 1:44:49 AM ... who remembers Mrs Hunts shop on Dunstead Road....? we used to nip over her back yard, nick the empty pop bottles out of the return crates and take them round the front to claim the 1p return!! ....the best of it was her son was in on it!! Steven gave up this life of high crime and is apparently in the management ranks of the Derbys Fire Brigade... I heard old Ma Hunt passed away... bless her! What was the other geezers name in the shop in the middle of Dunstead - circa mid '70s ... i'm sure it was Peter something, had a couple of sons that went to aldercar school.. (disclaimer: the author of this article denies any association with any criminal activity relating to the crimes in said article and will deny any association with the crime or any association with it... whatsoever... for ever and ever, amen... and anyway my fingerprints will be off the pop bottles by now anyway m'lord... ;-) |

replied on: 2/9/2006 3:50:40 PM WILLIAM PHILLIPS radio shop during the war From " Days that Used to be - Memories of Langley Mill by BARRIE SMITH 1969 "Whilst the war progresses, one man in Langley Mill was assigned by the British Secret Service to carry out the nightly secret task of intercepting enemy messages and passing on information by wireless to the British Secret Service HQ. Mr William Phillips, who was propieter of the Radio Shop at langley Mill, opposite the Midland Hotel, carried out his task in a small lean to shed adjoining the shop. It was not until after the war that Bill's great part was made known. Visiting the shop one day, I happened to see displayed a certificate from the British Secret Service thanking him for his valuable service. As I write Mr Phillips has for many years passed on and workmen are demolishing the shop, which I feel could relate some very interesting and valuable stories of the war years." I assume this was during WW2. |
