I belonged to Ronnie Scotts Club in the early 60s when it was held at the Mermaid on Stratford Road.

What a lovely story Enzo. I was an old Treggie's HKPS pupil but went there in the 40s!

Court 25 which was also known as Gothic Terrace was definitely at 157 Clifton Road. As shown on the 1881 census.

Let's hope someone will be able to put a name to the location Lyn.

Lyn, I'm not sure that this would be Gothic Terrace (although I would like it to be as I've never seen a photo of the houses there)! If you look at Mike Jee's map of the Terrace - post #244, the house numbers only go up to 19. I was told that there were gardens to the front of the houses in...

Thanks Mike for the information re possible gardens to the front of the houses in Gothic Terrace.

Thanks so much for the map Mike. Sorry for the delay in my reply but I seem to have missed the post as I have been away. Very interesting to see the layout of Gothic Terrace. I was told some years ago that the houses had small front gardens - would you think it is the garden shown on the...

When I asked my mother where she'd been, she would often reply "there and back to see how far it is"

I used to use both Kardomahs regularly in the late 50's/early 60s, but mainly the one in New Street where I would always see someone I knew whatever time of day I went in there. To my knowledge there was only one entrance and that was facing New Street on the corner of Cannon Street. I guess...

No Jayell, the picture is correct. The entrance to the baths was on the same side of Grove Lane as the park main entrance. Don't forget there was another ( smaller ) entrance in the road around the corner of the baths ( can't remember the name of the road ).............Mal Thanks Mal. Yes I...

Same here. In my memory the entrance to the park was on the opposite side of the road to the baths. Lovely to see that picture and all the ones of the park.

Thank you for the photo Ivor. Can you tell me anything about the Terrace and inside of the houses please. Did the numbers run odds and evens either side (presuming there were houses on two sides of a yard) or just 1,2,3 etc. I have so many questions that I would like to have asked my Mom, but...

It's so interesting to hear from someone who lived in Gothic Terrace. My own family lived there from at least 1881 up until about 1940. It was called No.25 Court way back before it became Gothic Terrace. My mother was born at No.2 in 1913. Through the years my Gt. Grandmother and both sides...

Not sure when the building whish housed the Nineveh Dance Studios was demolished but think it was in the early 60s. I do know that a van crashed into the shop underneath - Broadmeads Televisions Shop - so the building was past repair I guess and had to be demolished.

I tried but couldn't get it here in Devon Carolina. Tried on my laptop but I guess it's because it's a local TV Station. I hope I'll be able to see it one day.

Correct Viv - it stands for Member of the International Dance Masters Assocation, I believe.

Not on a Saturday night Oisin! Full of Teds and plenty of boppin!

I still have my Nineveh card as well Carolina!

Mike could you post the map a bit further along which would show Court 25 Clifton Road please.

Hi Mo, Yes indeed, it's another world now. When I look back at how long it used to take typing on those Banda sheets - "Two different types of paper were needed to make a master. The top sheet was the master onto which you would type, write or draw. Below this was the dark coloured sheet...
