mossdog Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 What was the coffee bar on Middlewood Road called which belonged to David Layne. It seems to have changed its name so many times in the 1960s? ---------- Post added 10-02-2017 at 12:33 ---------- What was the Squirrel Cafe called after that? Was it Laynes? .........used to be called the "Palms" when we used to go after the Hillsborough Kinema chucked out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Hardie Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Wasn't it called 'The New Squirrel' when Bronco had it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvey19 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I remember calling in at the corner shop half way down Wynyard Road to buy a packet of cigarettes on my way to the cafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolsterowl Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 My Dad, George Barker had the cafe before Bronco, he sold it to Bronco. This was before my time but I always remember him telling me about it, and my older brother remembers it. It would be great if anyone remembers my dad running the cafe.

Billam Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Did David Layne also have a café on Penistone Road north, perhaps opposite the old 'Gate' pub and before the railway bridge ? Bronco is married to my cousin Patricia, I don't think he had a cafe on Penistone Road, I think he had a pub, I saw him last year, he looks very well.

windswept Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 My favourite Wednesday players....Bronco and left-winger Colin Dobson. And Ron Springett, you can't miss him out, He was my hero as a kid, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billam Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Ron Springett was my hero, he wasn,t very tall but every cross was his, he didn't wear gloves, we used to throw oranges to him, he squeezed the juice on to his hands for grip, he is never mentioned when England goalies are talked about but he was one of the greats, he held the record for England caps before Banks came along and was reserve for the 66 world cup team.
