Boro Programmes in Parliament Road

Spent many a midweek afternoon in there with George & others who would pop in for a cuppa & Boro chat

My daughter, who is 29, still remembers sitting on the window seat as a very young girl

Nelsons toy shop on Linthorpe Road. It was where all the pizza, phone fix and kebab shops are. They used to have all sorts of toys and models etc. I think they even sold pans and such like

Yes my mate sees him occassionally, nice bloke

Thete is a group, 1st wednesday of each month, who meet up for a memorabilia chat, George has attended a few of the meetings, I've been to a few & should make more of an effort to go to more

Just one.
Romer Parrish.

Why did this take until the 4th post to get a mention??

I'd have LOVED to have taken my daughter there and seen the emotions in her face mirror my own 40 years ago! Plus played with a good few of the demo toys "to make sure they were suitable"...

Frank Flynn’s tackle shop, Denshams corner. You had to cut the cigarette smoked air to view the stuff

The wife and I got food poisoning from there - never went back.

Reeds Sports in South Bank needs a mention - they also had a shop in Eston.

Smollin’s would be my shout, he could sell sand to the Arabs and anyone who went in came out with something.

 

[Hobr01]

Charlie’s and London Connection clothes shops in Eston. Every school kids nightmare getting seen going in there

That's going back a while! I used to love looking in the window back in the day when we lived in Lonsdale Street, ~1974

UPTONS. The was great for toys back in the 70s and 80s.
