The Met Cafe was opposite the Metro-Cammel works by a Bank; I think Sandra was only about 17yrs old so I don't think she'd been away, she lived in Ash Rd with her parents, John.
I didn't live in the area but had friends who did, Sandra worked at the GPO telegram office in town and her two workmates were Brenda and Wendy, so, when I saw her name in your posts I assumed you were the same person, regards, Jack.
Hi Wendy, had you used to work at the Post Office Telegram service with Sandra Smith and Brenda Gameson. If I have the wrong person I'm sorry but I saw some of your earlier posts and had a guess. I knew you all from the Met Cafe my name was Jack.
Here's a couple of photo's relating to two of your adverts. Shakespeare Bro's & Smith finished up next door to Barclays Bank on Station Rd and were there into the 1960's, John.
Here's a Hardings cart in approximately the correct colours, also, the chimney in the streetview pic is that of "Rose Cottage" and, as you say, is still there, John.
