If that wasn't there, you would be able to see the Cottage by the Brook behind it.Forgive my ignorance, been out of Stafford for some decades now, but where that ATS place is in the pix, didn't there used to be a club around there, I think to do with Lotus, where back in the day I did my John Travolta disco dancing .....

In 'your time' that area was almost waste land, but owned by Lotus and used for odd storage purposes.
There was a public lavatory there - if that's your idea of a club...
Could have sworn Lotus Club was somewhere around there, but, the old neurons aren't firing like they used to.
Lotus Club, Stafford
Staff Club for Lotus Shoes. Closed in 1997 prior to demolition of the entire site & re-development for housing. The location given is approximate.
It was within the Lotus shoes site that was around there. Where the new houses are.

It's possible that it was, although I 'seem to remember it' being up by Henry Street, where the bowling green was.Could have sworn Lotus Club was somewhere around there, but, the old neurons aren't firing like they used to.

Thanks Giles. My position fix was a bit out, must have been all that disco dancing addling my brain. What I do remember is walking down across the allotments along the 'Little Bank' to get to it from the Rec. All of that is built on now.

I remember the Lotus Shoes site down there. Friends lived down Sandon Road so we'd walk past it on the way into town.

Whilst it was heavy rain, it lasted only a few hours. I thought our invisible MP was all over this, she literally got elected on this mandate. But then chose to vote to put shit in our waterways, starve our children and renew fracking.
Still she got a nice photo opp out of it. Pointless.
If you get paid to do a job and don't do it isn't that fraud or something?

I went to the Lotus club ,as I knew some people working there. Seem to vaguely remember going in through an entrance from Oxford gardens way (or that could have been a short cut for us as we walked from the Prince of Wales over the Rec way? )Lotus Club, Stafford

No, it's called essential training to be a Tory MP.

Yes, had a nice photo opportunity at Lake Sandon, married a Harrowby from Sandon Hall but still won't do anything about it.

Apparantly she's been working really hard, FML, yet a morning of rain and we're back in floodland. She's utterly pointless

Might function as a sandbag..?
Well that's the point, she had a meeting with the people who are supposed to do the work and they didn't do the work. Lets face it, people in local government are often Labour supporters so are well known to just ignore what a Tory MP tells them to do.

Good. No one should do what this shower of shite ask! But I'm not sure it actually works like that!
