Guest alex Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Me Dad used to live in Rochester Dwellings (aka 'the Dwellings' in Walker). He said when there was a fight people used to come out of their flats and watch it from all four sides of the square. And there was a family on the ground floor had a horse that lived in their front room. Class photos like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was like an Aladdin's cave that place - stocked full of toon memorabilia. Aye that's what I was thinking. I think that shop had loads of 1984 stuff in it, I think a lot of fans of the era before us what would be your 33-50 year olds now, lived off 1984. It was just round the corner from here, in them type buildings on the far right as you look, like little huts, THAT was the commercial side to NUFC in the 1980's, and it didn't even belong to the club.

Craig 6670 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 It certainly did - I bought the 1984 Souvenir LP in there.. Bet that'd be worth a fortune if I still had it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
