replied on: 11/5/2005 1:04:11 PM Before the shop next to Saxton's Derby Road chippy became a junk shop, it was run, for a short time, as an electronic 'gear' shop. Tape recorders and Etc. (c.early to mid 1950s) before turning to dealing with second-hand electronic equipment as well. Azzabuv. |

replied on: 8/23/2005 8:14:01 AM I remember the forty steps well. You had to walk through a very tiny "jitty" off Mansfield Road through to the steps. I would often take a short cut through here to Aldercar School in the 60's. Ann Marie |

replied on: 8/18/2005 4:32:37 PM My grandad used to take me for walks over the forty steps when I was little. They were flights of wooden steps running up and down railway embankments. we used to walk along the old railway mostly but sometimes we'd go up the other sides across the fields that were there in those days. |

replied on: 8/14/2005 1:15:31 PM noooo!! it started from the bottom of the jitty off marshalls street.don't why they called it 40 steps,i never managed to count above 25. if you look from the bridge off mansfield rd near the chemsit it was about 200 yards away where the old railway line used to be. |
