Hi everyone

I recall being at the Talford Arms at some stage during 1963. Does anyone remember the name of the landlord?

Regards, Ivy

...and looking up Talford Street you can see the outdoor which was run by Mr. Roberts.

was that the outdoor on the corner with the rounded step?
I remember sitting on there eating that Gold(?) sweet stuff - which was like brown coconut tobacco with, I think, a Julie Scott (I'm fairly sure it was Scott) who was in my class at Burlington st (in the 60's), and I'm fairly sure that was where she lived then, so i guess her family ran it.
I was also at Burlington st. with a Lois Willis (born on exactly the same day as me), and she and her family used to live a few doors away from us in Parliament st., but then they moved to, and ran, the pub on the corner of Phillips St. and Newtown Row (hope I've got that right)..
maybe called The Waggon & Horses (could be wrong and no time to check - been on here hours already).
But we used to play upstairs in a long room of the pub - and her mom or dad would give us fizzy pop - that would be about '66/'67?? I remember Lily the Pink by the Scaffold playing in the pub - funny how things stick in your mind..
and my dad coming out of the betting shop over the road - although he wasn't a betting man but I guess we were struggling and he was desperate :(
I seem to remember a toy shop near the betting shop too - could be wrong
 
Hi Maz, nice to see you back on the Forum, the outdoor you can see beyond the Talford Arms was run by Mr. Roberts for many years, and it was on the corner of Talford Street/Webster Street. The Wagon & Horses was on the corner of Webster Street and Newtown Row. I can't ever recall a bookies on that part of Newtown Row or a toy shop.

By coincidence there was a Lois Willis in my class at Burlington Street School, she lived in Sutton Street near The Retreat, but of course about 21 years older than you.
 
Thanks for the welcome back -
don't visit much as I end up spending hours and hours on here (like today :D ) and life is quite busy.

I'm probably mixing up Phillips st and Webster st.
The bookies was probably on Webster st. then as I feel fairly sure it was sort of diagonally opposite the pub (not on Newtown Row but the side road - Webster st. I suppose).
 
hi folks i have aquired some new photos of phillip st...if anyone is interested i will post them....

Lyn, thanks posting the pictures and mikejee for numbering them, I remember going with Dad to have a look at his old home when I was a 'nipper' but that's been a good few years ago now.
 
happy to help nick..its not everyone who find a photo of the house they are looking for..after years of searching i found some of paddington st where i was born one showing the line of houses where members of my family lived and also the entry that led to our nans back to back where i was born... bought a tear to my eyes i can tell you...to date i still cant find one of the house i grew up in from the age of 5 to 18 but im not giving up hope...they are out there somewhere

all the best
