It was 1943 when I was at the then Meadow Dairy but that backyard was the same.In fact we had one customer used to inspect the contents of the bins to see if we had lied to her when she was told that we'd had no boiled ham.
I don't recall the Enfield but it would be 1951ish when I started going there. The mechanics name was Fred.I started with a 500 AJS then onto a BSA Star Twin with a chair on.Then in 1955 wedding bells sounded and I moved to Eastwood so I didn't have the same amount of time to call.
I think the Market chippie was called Lucas's.I don't remember the other shops maybe they were after I left.
Talking of Loscoe dam,we used to walk just past the dam towards the main road and on the left there was path going towards the pit.On the left there was a high wall which we used to climb and on the other side was an enclosed swimming pool with cabins round the sides It was all derelict but still had water in. I've never seen it used.Anyone remember that?
