Hi Mike:
Well i can well describe Rotherham as a shit hole especially Brinsworth.I got transfered to Brinsworth Strip mills when i worked for british Steel although it's not brinsworth to speake, but a dump really, i've not been into the main town centre of Rotherham for about 5 years now.Aye those wee the days when Rotherham had a good record shop, i bought all my albums from 'The Sound Of Music' in the mid '80's...Great shop that was.Japanese super cuts for a tenner.

Do you know what..... when you say 'market entrance' was it an indoor market?... If so, then 'yes', I do believe it was!

But I'm trying to remember three quarters of a lifetime ago! :confused:

In that case it probably was.... the shop was just to the left of the market entrance. You walked in and on the right side of the store were some of little booth things with headphones to try out records, and on the left was the counter and records 'n stuff!

Small world! :lolsign:
