Hi Dek and Jane, Les's did have pinball machines too and great sandwiches ....
The BRS wagons used to park across the road from Les's ,on Dollman St and across from Fellow's Outdoor, just up the side at the end of Alma Crescent .... We used to root in the back of them as kids because they were only tarpaulin covers with straps ....
Does anyone remember the Ellis's, Burn's, Toppin's, Wood's, Healy's, McColgan's, Mullin's, Nisbet's, Banbury's, Kirwan's, Cusacks, Harold's and Conlon's from Dollman St, Cathcart St and Erskine St ....
Dek, the cafe at the corner of Erskine/Dollman St was a popular cafe with the railway workers, it used to have a couple of pinball machines and a flipper machine. Jean was the owners name.
Dolly Goodman's shop was across the road, she had a horrible little dog, a Jack Russell, I think .... Anyway, the horrible little B...... bit me and I was only going to stroke it, Dolly said " Oh did he ..." when I told her .... I was only about six at the time ....
Pudding, they are great pics .... I used to go in there in the Smoke Room I think, the entrance was on the Mill and we used to play darts and have a few pints ....
