Not sure if this picture was taken at Wyndham Park or Aveling Barford – I am favouring Wyndham Park but perhaps someone else knows better. By looking at the ties the chaps are wearing it looks as though there are two opposing teams pictured. My father Derrick Bradford and Lionel Pinchbeck are in the middle of the back row. They played for both the above teams BUT they are not wearing matching ties which may mean they were on opposite sides in this case.

Good bye to a bit of Grantham, history

EMPLOYEE Syd Duller surveys the demolition work by builders merchants English Bros Road depot in 1970. The building had served as a skating rink and cinema as well as industrial and commercial use.
THE Premier Rinks were exposed when builders merchants English Bros (later Jewsons) brought in the demolition men to their Wharf Road depot in 1970. It began as Richard John Boyall’s carriage and tram works, later becoming the orderly room for the 2nd Bat Lincolnshire Regiment. By the 1880s it was the Premier Skating Rink and later doubled up as the King’s Picture Hall, a cinema seating 800. By 1918 it was home to the YMCA before returning to commercial use.

Who are these Grantham Co-op girls?

I know nothing about this picture other than it is obviously something to do with the CO-OP and the girl second from left front row is my Mother Eileen Sanders born June 1913. Taken by Walter Lee in his studio, 1 London Road (later knocked down to become the new Co-op store). Vaughan Hardy
