Specsavers

Dicky Holland Pork pies. Is Rising sun still there? Little cafe on Kirton Lane? Thorne Engineers have gone. My Nan once called EW Pidd Mr Pig by mistake.

Were the breaks banging when applied?

I love the way the Hurst's and old police station buidings were recreated. But hate the way they have stood empty since the rebuild. Covid obviously hasn't helped. Also hate how the windows are frequently broken on that new build.

And it is still empty lol will be like that for more years to come

Hi, David did you watch the 1st video?

Load of rubbish this video is of no help at all

We’re you getting a fault code?

Geoff, the building you describe as Pidd's cafe, was actually Reid's grocer's shop. This was a very interesting place in its own right, with its delicious smell of freshly-ground coffee, cheese cut from huge blocks using a wire and butter scooped from wooden tubs and knocked into a brick shape with wooden paddles. Like many other establishments of its kind, you could also buy cigarettes and tobacco there. The hoist on the first floor was for hauling up sacks of animal feed, which Reid's also sold. Pidd's pork butchers and restaurant was on the right of this building and later became a fish and chip shop for a while. It was demolished along with Hirst's to make way for the new and as yet unoccupied development of shops which extends along Silver Ṡtreet. I believe Mr (Enos) Pidd was Swiss. Behind the Pidds' house, now transformed into the Punch Bowl pub, there were hard courts where I played tennis as a teenager.

My old Thorne. I now live 6000 miles away but the old accent still enchants and amuses me. Very good short film to watch

Git up my chavi my mush

Crikey what has happened- used to be fields of corn and barley. Walked that lane nearly everyday with the dog. They always wanted to build on the land but it was part of the green belt, probably would be the best thing they can do now. Thank you so much for the video but will remember it as it was when it was my playground.

Wow that took me back to my childhood 70 years ago.Thankyou
