These are from The Herald Road Guide (undated - but cost 9 shillings).





FEs and FCs were lurking at Hotels all over the place it would seem.

That shop behind was taken over by Millers in 82 and we moved there when my father went in to run it for them - I know the town well but don't remember that rod...

[customFC]

The rod was there for the 77 HR Nats.
