suzard Researcher	Mick Patrick replied on: 12/7/2004 12:18:19 PM Yes-the one that is now a lightfitting warehouse-and they've knocked the Sunday School room down and made a car park ! Progress? The scouts and cubs were held in the upstairs room at the chapel Brownies and guides were held in the Church Hall at Aldercar (i was in the elf patrol-"Here we are the little elves, helping others not ourselves"-sung as we danced around a large toadstool!)next to where the old infants school was-now demolished and flats built there

suzard Researcher	Mick Patrick replied on: 12/6/2004 4:40:44 PM Mo-remember the youth club at Langley Mill Central Methodist-wonder if you remember me?? I'll give you a clue-we once entered Langley Mill Fete and Gala fancy dress competition-we were the King and Queen of Poland-and it wasn't crowns we had on our heads!!! No wonder we didn't win!!!June Johnson was Billy Bunter-I still have the photo as evidence!!!!
moet	Mick Patrick replied on: 11/28/2004 7:19:39 PM Just had an email from my brother (none other then the local bobby Mick Patrick, now retired) He is just getting into I.T.and has yet to go on your site but I've told him the address and how fascinating it is to read about 'our past' My wage for the week at Sandersons was 16 shillings plus I had to make up any money that I was down after collecting on Friday nights, that's 16 pence a day for hauling a heavy bag of papers,and getting up at the crack of dawn in all weathers!
RMMee Moderator	Mick Patrick replied on: 11/26/2004 11:39:01 PM Mo I had a paper round for Sanderson's too (in my case around 1971), but I had the Cromford Road Round - the shortest but heaviest of their routes!
moet	Mick Patrick replied on: 11/26/2004 8:17:10 PM Hi, it's Mick Patrick's sister, Maureen, (known nowadays as Mo) what a fantastic website!!!!!!!!!!!!! I spent a very happy nostalgic couple of hours, trawling the site and remembering my childhood in Aldercar and Langley Mill.I have a good memory for trivia ie shops and people. Not sure how to pass it all on but my uncle phillip was the bookie in Langley Mill and my mum (Evelyn Patrick) used to work at P.P.'s Electrical shop on the corner of Cromford Road. She used to buy the Christmas trifle from Piper's just around the corner. I used to dread going to Charlie Spittals (the dentist)great name? Precriptions would be filled from Maxfields the chemist. I had a paper round when Sandersons owned the newsagent opposite the Mill. My round took me across the footbridge up to Pender's Row and finished at my house on Upper Dunstead Rd, where I lived. I won't go on, there is so much more. Really enjoying the site! Mo Watson
suzard Researcher	Mick Patrick replied on: 11/23/2004 3:04:24 PM Think I remember Mick Patrick from Upper Dunstead-white blonde hair as a kid-sister Maureen-the nephew of Phillip Patrick who had the betting shop on Cromford Road-maybe this should be on "shops in L Mill"????
Iceboy53	Mick Patrick replied on: 11/22/2004 1:09:30 PM Yes it was Mick Patrick, but he says he can't remember the incident of the barbers. But he does remember the barbers and a few more places round there. He's retired now, so he won't cuff you will he..

Iceboy53	Mick replied on: 11/20/2004 2:26:29 PM I mentioned your accounts on the hair dressers on station road to Mick and he asked for the chat area internet address so he could look and probably answer.
