I remember trying to get on the bobs when I was a kid not big enough to be allowed on though. Sadly almost all of this is gone now.

Interestingly that picture of Alex Donaldson's sports shop at 777 Hyde Road,... my late father purchased that business for £4000, six months after that photograph was taken in 1960........
