goldenfleece Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Anyone remember this, the NAMELESS RESTAURANTcirca 1982/3, it was somewhere on Cambridge Street, but not sure where exactly. Might have been close to the Sportsman or further down towards the Casbah. It had a green frontage in 1983 if anyone remembers.....was not there very long if I remember as only had one meal there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ousetunes Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 It was at the top end, roughly where Ask pizzeria is. On the left-hand side was an archway IIRC (took you through to Backfields). Its decor was green and white and the name Nameless was written on its front windows (bottom left hand corner of each window - see, it's all 'in here'[pointing to head]). I also recall a spiral staircase and a number of plants. I always thought it was quite a 'cool' place, at least till Gangsters opened up round the corner. I knew the owner's family (well, his kids. We used to knock about on Graham Road the same time Hubba Bubba chewing game came on the scene. For some unknown reason we used to call it Bum Chum. Kids eh?) and the last time I went was probably 1980, shortly after buying my white funk belt from Jean Jeanie on Fargate and showing it off on the Speedway at Endcliffe Park Fayre where they played Dexys' "Geno" endlessly. They never told me to wear jeans with the belt as opposed to my school shorts (only kidding. I was more fashionable aged 11 than I am aged 36).

lolalola Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Hi goldenfleece, spent many a day in the nameless restaurant. My friends mum used to run it and we always got free food, had all the birthday parties in there. I don't know exactly whats in its place now as I've nott been there for years but it was at the top end with cole brothers side doors almost opposite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
