datal Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 My most vivid memory was going down the escalator near the old Cocaynes side, two girls were leaning over the barrier watching me, I was half way down & one girl shouted "mester my mate wants you to s**g her", obviously they knew I couldn't get back up the escalator........ the sods!!!

loom Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 was there an entrance to the shop on the corner which is now T J Hughes. It was near the escalators and the man selling the Star used to stand there ? I have vague memories as I didn't live in the 'Big City' then but used to come and visit my nan. Those pictures were great, feeling abit sad and old tho' now What happened to the good ol' days ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPG Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Didn't there used to be a chippy down there too? With a turquoise relief of fish being caught? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S8 Blade Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 God I feel old - and I'm only 23!! Remember Hole In T'Road so well! Remember there being someone down there getting everyone to sign a petition for FA Semi between United & them sent to Wembley in 93. Fish tank was great - remember that MASSIVE orange fish in there?! Was prob a goldfish but must've been a killer goldfish for that size! Remember being scared of the escalators one day.. think I had a dream once that if I didn't get off quick enough I'd be sucked under with the steps at the top/bottom lol. I know what I do wish though - BRING BACK C&A!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
