Regarding redgates:

I remember going there as a child with my uncle every saturday afternoon, it was fantastic all those toys. do you remember the lego statues just inside the doorway, I think one was a knight and if i remember rightly a dinosaur.

 

I still own a Redgates Brocure in mint condition,the toys in there are pure quality,not like the crap on sale today.

The 95 bus going up Fargate......turning at Commonside, Tinker Lane...or going through to the terminus at Bole Hill Lane.

 

Getting on a backloader that was stuck in traffic :)

There used to be a bar, the entrance was on the High Street, that was below ground, under where Blacks hiking shop is now I think, I can't remeber what it was called but I remember falling down the stairs one night and getting a free pint.

 

What was that bar called ?

Was it the geisha bar?

Isabellas which then became Uropa - is that still there?
