Just a list of ad hoc memories from the 60's, that we (me) used to get up to. No1. Standing in Red Lion Square with our scooters, watching the world go by. (i.e.Girls.) No2. Buying flares and tank tops etc. from the shop in St. Mary's Street, the name of the shop escapes me. No.3 Buying the Pink'un from the bloke next to All Saints church after watching the Daniels up Wothorpe Road. No3. Buying Fishing "Stuff" from Godslands in St. Mary's Street. No4. Going fishing down Gypsy meadows and under the willow tree( Nr Town Bridge) on the Welland No.5 Going pipe hunting, when the Welland was low, near the town bridge and finding old clay pipes. No6. -My Dad taking me to get my hair cut at Mr Bells on East Street (before the late sixties). Didn't cut it between 1967 and 1970. No one did. no7. Frequenting every pub in Stamford, especially "Millstone, Scotgate (with the cellar bar) White Swan, Drum and Monkey, Hurdler, Crown Hotel, (to watch Match of the Day) Albion Tavern, and all the rest really. No 8. On Sundays at 10.30 flying up to the Tinwell Pubs to get an extra half an hour drinking at the Rutland pubs. (Why). No.9 Catching Newts from the pond near Williamson Clift brickworks and keeping them the enamel sink in our back garden. No. 10 Biking to Tallington, Helpston, Essendine, Casewick bridge, to collect Engine numbers. Any of these ring a bell. |

Yes, I remember the Stamford Mods - wonderful coloured leather coats as well. And 'Nimrod's' Karmann Ghia. And the coffee shop with a big picture window above a shop on the south side opposite the London Inn. (Though I guess we mostly drank tea? - 'instant' coffee - or any coffee other than Camp, wasn't so readily available then ... or maybe the fine powder stuff was??)). |

Nigel - the shop - Will Darnes (Suitall)? When I moved to Stamford in 66 I thought Stamford Mods were soooo cool. Probably because I hadn't been to school with them! I was quite lonely at first, I didn't know anyone and daren't go to the 'in' places by myself. Except once, when I plucked up courage to go to the Scotgate cellar, and felt so self-conscious I went home after 10 minutes. I remember the coffe shop opposite the London Inn, was it called Barton's? That was for Saturdays, Sundays was the Willows, above a clothing shop, with views over the meadows. |
