Yes there was a cafe next door I went in there 1970s, I knew the owner.
I used it quite often in the 70’s too, always busy, I think it was run by a couple of blokes. I seem to remember he called every one ‘John’ as in ‘what can I get you John?’ Not sure if there was a Gas Board depot nearby as there were always loads of gas fitters in there at breakfast.
Where have all the good old cafes gone where you could get a good breakfast and a mug of tea at a reasonable price......
