    Recycling changes...

    In the majority of cases, my brown bin mainly consists of leaves and general tree detritus from the two very large trees situated on the street right outside my property. Despite numerous requests for the trees to be pollarded (they haven't been in over three years) the said trees are actually...

    Stafford shops opening - Turning into a boom town?

    Our very own forum can answer exactly when it was 'planted'. http://www.staffordforum.com/xf/index.php?threads/mill-street.4141/page-5 And another mention of it here https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-stoke-staffordshire-11976265

    Who remembers Dalans?

    I don't know whether it's my memory filling in blanks erroneously here, but I have it in the back of my mind that it was originally two blokes, Darryl and Alan, hence, Dalan's but Darryl went alone either shortly before / after it moved to Market Street.

    The slow crawl out of self distancing

    Just playing devil's advocate for a minute here but... Maybe, just maybe, these people might be buying plants for somebody else who is unable to get out for whatever reason. Maybe, just maybe, this person lives alone and only has the garden as a way of trying to make sense and maintain their...

    It's behind a paywall. Does it say what 'data' they are using to suggest such a figure?

    Open Takeaways During Lock Down.

    Hi All, I want to buy somebody a takeaway for their birthday tomorrow. Their preference is Chinese but I think they'd be happy with an alternative. So, before I start ringing round blindly to all takeaways in Stafford, has anybody recently had any during lock down that they could recommend...

    Nostalgia - What are your memories of Stafford?

    Ah, that's a blast from the past. Did they replace Halpin, or was it next door to them? Did Stafford Lighting move anywhere else after that? I don't think it was the one up Greyfriars, wasn't that Stafford Lighting?

    Nostalgia - What are your memories of Stafford?

    I 'collected' those photos from somewhere else on my cyber travels too and remember getting my Sherlock magnifying glass out to try and find clues to when this picture may have been taken. My guess was April 1981. 1. Kevin Keegan played for England until 1982 2. The kit he's wearing is from...

    Talking of nostalgia, whatever happened to MISS T who started this thread? He / she used to be prolific poster and then disappeared in 2013. Unless they had a name change?

    Nostalgia - What are your memories of Stafford?

    Wagsports was situated in the far left corner (as you look at it) of Home Bargains, where it meets up with the former Argos. I don't think it was next door, but Halpin's (men's clothing) once occupied the far right side of where Home Bargains currently is. There are a few photos on...

    Oddly, a couple of older maps felt it was noteworthy to include whatever it was. Here is a 'then and now' map comparison. https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=17&lat=52.82568&lon=-2.12005&layers=193&right=BingHyb

    Wanted Frank Baker

    I'm wondering if it's this book https://www.amazon.co.uk/Just-Being-Frank-Baker/dp/0722321694 If so, it seems that it's out of publication and there are no known copies on eBay. If you're really wanting to get it, perhaps contact the publisher, you never know. There is another book that is...

    Mundane facts about your day...

    Here's a before and after from a similar angle. It looks like Mrs. T's was pretty much situated on the very near corner of the Police Station.

    Same here. They also left the yellow tag on my blue bin but I'm presuming it was because I'd not used a blue bag, which I've never received.
