Corn beefslice chips and gravy from the windsor, mmmmmmmmmmmm

WIMPYS!!! :sweet: where Ladbrokes is now,me dad used to take me there on a Saturday when he had me for a few hours

Nowadays its Mcdonalds kids.

In the Early 80's it was Wimpys

i remember a cafe up near the brus roundabout near where the steetley tunnel is. theres a new doctors near there now.

Binns caf

I remember 2 cafes me and me dad used to haunt,one was where Sicilliano's is now and the other was in either Whitby Street or Lynn Street,i cant remember the names like,but they were quite popular.

Bianco's were Al Syros is now - with the one and only Harold Hornsey in attendance once.

would that have been the Yorkshire Lassie?

in whitby st might have been bianco's other cafe - 3 quid too young for lynn street

I remember one in musgrave st on the way to the ex-roundabout near the 'stores'

and the other sounds like the old market cafe in lynn street

Thats the one *Yorkshire Lassie* on York Road,i think the other one was Bianco's katcha.

I used to hate the Knickerbocker Glory's me dad always used to buy me he said they were lovely i only drank them to make him happy

Bianco's did have a place in Whitby street - bastad ((c)adg) VAT put him out of business

There is a Bianco's deli on Stockton Road now, anyone know if there is any connection?

Louis Bianco was in Whitby street
the Yorkshire Lassie in York road
the one at the Brus corner was very poor i preferred the wooden hut next to the tunnel run by Billy O Dells family two huts one for kids sweets and one for the drivers tea stop that was when Burdons lorries used to take sand from the beach
any one remember ex chairman John Currys place in Lynn street
i think he also had one at the bottom of Musgrave street

and the Woodpeker Cafe near Seaton baths

There is a Bianco's deli on Stockton Road now, anyone know if there is any connection?[/quote]

bus drivers dont have lunch you mell
old ladies have lunch

The Manhattan on the corner of Lister Street and York Road. Opposite Aggio's shop. My first ever experience of frothy coffee. And tabs!! :sweet: :sweet:

Does any one remember the Rainbow at Seaton.....coffee/burger bar at the front, and a room at the back with a disco?
It was run by someone called Ken Tyzack, I think. The fifth form at the High School were permanently digging down the back of sofa cushions to scape up money for the bus fare and a cup of coffee

I do yes, I spent years hanging round Seaton Front. It was next door to the Golden Sands wasn't it??

I can't place where it was, now, except that it was somewhere between the Marine and the Seaton. Sometimes have a look down there for clues, but other buildings seem to have swallowed it up

There's an alleyway that goes through to the side entrance to the park and it was to the right of there. The buildings still there but I think it's a rock shop now or something. Officially I'm still barred out of the Golden Sands.... booting the Penny Falls machines...:sweet: :sweet:

till it became illegal to solicit

Is there any need for that sort of talk?? Do you want me to tell Matron??

Well behave then or you'll get left out of the bingo.

What's this? Wasn't the Rainbow near the old baths on the steelworks side of Coronation Drive or was that called something else?
The cafe at the bottom of Musgrave Street was the original Pic.
The first Chinese Restaurants in town were the Bamboo Terrace in Lynn Street and the Golden Pagoda in ... er ... help!
There was a posh cake shop in Stockton Street called Mason's Waverly Cafe where I guess the Clansman was later built.
The Co-op central stores had a magnificent cafe with a huge window overlooking Musgrave street and with little old waitresses in black dresses and white pinnies. The scones .... ah the scones!
The Kit Kat café on the corner of Belk Street and Hart (now Raby) Road was where the Teds hung out in their beetle crushers.
The Yorkshire Lassie was owned by Stefan Hayward's dad who I guess must have been called Mr Hayward.
Also a vague memory of a cafe called the something tea rooms.

Ah the Yorkshire Lassie.................Always got told of my Dad never to to there as it was full of wrong-uns...so of course we had to go there to see what all the fuss was about.........Must say that there where some interesting people there in the early 70's.........

Yeah, the Toby jug on the corner of York road and Lister street. That was my haunt on a Saturday morning before the pubs were open before the match clap

What's that cafe in the shopping centre(near Brett's) called?...that was open when i was a kid.

Thats the one

Alvin's as well...that's been there years.

Changing the subject slightly,i wonder what was the town's first Chinese takeaway and Kebab shop?

The first Chinese i remember is the one near the Travellers(cant remember the name )

The one near the Travs is called the Golden Bird, don't know if that was its original name though

There was a Chinese in the Clansman entrance to the town, excellent business lunches, went on to be Ned Kelly's

the earliest chinks i remember is the one in lynn street next to hoggerts record shop

That was the Bamboo Terrace.

The first takeaway was in Stockton Road near Cornwall Street on the St Aidan's side. It was opened by Ho Hong (no kidding) who I believe also had a Chinese laundry.
There was another Chinese laundry run by Mr Wu but he gave it up to become a window cleaner in Saltburn.

There is a laundry still around that area as well, on Stockton Road more or less directly opposite Cornwall Street

i recall the name, where was it?

commonely known as joannas now

Pools Surplus Stores x 2 in the town. One in the the mall opposite the Post Office, the other.......????? :sweet:

York Road opposite Donnely & Adamsons!!!!

aaah - what food did they sell??

Alvins Coffee Bar - so retro it hurts & arguably the worst food I have ever eaten in a cafe

shitty coffee in glass cups

richmonds cafe on the bottom near where hintons used to be looking over the war memorial

Me Mam had loas of them - thought they were posh

we're heading for a new series of "How we used to live" at this rate!!

anyway, tea break over - back to work

PORTHOLE BEN THE WNDOW CLEANER

That's slanderous that. And mis-spelt.
