No Mark I live more up towards Bolsterstone and mine is a 75 sliver tourer on a 53 plate. Keep seeing a few rover 75 up this end have tried to wave but no luck either don't want to or have not seen me lol.

Smaller world still, I used to have a place on Middlewood Road, and also used Grahams tyres on Leppings lane.

I still miss the nights out on West Street, normally winding up in Josephine's in Barkers Pool.

Oh happy days

Hi Brian

So where about did you have your business on Middelwood road? Just wonder if our paths ever crossed at some time sounds like you and me are about the same age and frequented the same places.
Thanks Clive

Hi Clive, I was working for a firm specialising in compressors on Darnall Lane, I actually lived in a flat above a shop where Middlewood Road meets Catch Bar Lane.

This was all about a half a lifetime ago.......1994.

Still I do have fond memories of my time in Steel City

Hi Brian
Just above the Caffe and around from the Bike shop Butterworths think you got free lighting as well with the traffic lights lol. Yes, you are a bit after my time 68 now but as you say good old time still young at heart.
Thanks Clive
