Leigh Kennedy… Looking towards the passage leading to the seafront between Milletts and Duncan Foster. Bikers far left.

Julian Deeprose… Bikers through the arch as well as the Carlisle is there

John Mcewen… Used to ride through there as a short cut to the Carly.

Lloyd Johnson… I remember ‘Bikers’ when they were in George Street and sold Keil Kraft balsa plane kits which they displayed in their side window.

Ian Johnson… Yep I remember that

Neil William Michael McGuigan… Bumped into Paul McCartney in Milletts in the late 70s he was buying a lumberjack shirt

Stephen Moran… I bought my first pair of Levi’s there in 1969. I’m fairly sure they cost £3 2s 6p

Pete Brazier…What year was this pic taken please? (And what year did they change it?) I got vague memories of it like this but I know I was only young

Barry French… Duncan & Fosters served up some tasty pasties (Their sausage rolls were pretty good too)

Graham Sherrington… yes loved going into Duncans. Their Cornish Pasties were Divine!!!! if I remember correctly. It’s great that boring old photo from yesteryear are so mind blowing nowadays!!!

John Wilde… Fond memories.

Jeanette Wilde… Many great memories with Sharon and Helen, at mums flat too. xxx

Mace Sinden… Closed due to unforeseen circumstances

John Wilde… Mace, hahaha

Sid Saunders… Also Professor Patrick Cullen who worked on the pier as fortune teller.

Peter Houghton… Those were the good old day’s on the Pier

Tracy Birrell… I remember it well.

JS Bythesea… That is so weird! I was reading Steve Peake’s book “A Pier without Peer” this afternoon. I saw this photo. And then it appeared in my Facebook news feed. Spooky!

Alan Esdaile… JS, a good read.

Sue Strong… Had mine done there

Sparrow Baker… … when the angels ask me to recall….

Chris Baker… Sparrow, Well remembered!

Sheila Maile… We used to sing I Remember Yououou up the club. Much to the annoyance of some

Linda Gowans… Frank Ifield died two days ago. I don’t know what comes to mind when you think of his records, but I doubt if many of you know this one, from 1961! I have the 45 rpm single from that year.

Alan Esdaile… Sad news Linda. I expect most people know The Nashville Teens version.

Linda Gowans… Alan, Yes – I’ve always thought Frank Ifield’s recording left it standing.

Janet Rennie… My nan loved him. Great singer

Leigh Mitchell… Sad news

Mick O’Dowd… (S)He taught me to yodel. Sad loss.

Carol Acott… “I remember you” springs to mind…..

Linda Gowans… Carol, Yes, that’s the one we all remember! Fewer people know he recorded ‘Tobacco Road’ – a very different side of his repertoire.
