weegmans pork butchers is on Boroughgate Otley not Bondgate. the empty shop you mention was Ye Olde Pork shop owned by Porke Brown (now retired) Middlemiss butchers on Market Street are not connected to either butchers. I prefer the weegmans pies to Middlemiss but its a close call, both top class growlers

I know it's not its home anymore but you're hard pushed to find it in Manchester, let alone here. A bit of research shows that cask was contracted to Hydes in 2004 but I drank in a few Hydes pubs in Salford last year and didn't see it there. It might well be out of production, but as with Tetley replacements over here a few north-western microbreweries do a passable replacement.

Those lovely little light green card railway tickets, which the booking clerk shoved into a dating machine, and they were then well and truly dated with a very convincng deep THUD. The tickets were only about three inches by one and a half inches - and if it was a return you had to bend it in half and keep the even smaller piece to use on the journey home.
I used to collect the tickets from alighting passengers at Ilkley Station when I was five years old in WW2- a lovely homely lady porter called Dora used to allow me to do it while she watched - bless her.

Platforms 1 and 2 were for the two services to Leeds and the trains to Bradford. The Leeds trains went via Burley and then either Guiseley, Newlay. Armley etc or via Otley, Arthington and Headingley etc. Platforms 3 and 4 served the Skipton trains (I can't remember if the Skipton trains started at Ilkley, or came from somewhere further east ??

Maybe then it could be a case of brand names? Same thing - different makers?

Was it the Top Of The Pops magazine? I can see the bloody thing in my head but the title eludes me.

I remember one called Disco 45 - it was a very un-glossy one, and the words were often slightly wrong!

Monk & Glass Custard
The company was Monkhouse & Glasscock Ltd., and one of the Monkhouse scions was named Robert who became famous as an entertainer - you don't see him any more, either.
If anyone else remembers Monk & Glass, please say so, as I have great difficulty in convincing my wife and many friends that there was ever such a brand.

And that reminds me...........
Creamola or was it Cremola, a ground-rice pudding. Very popular in the 40s and 50s. Came in a box with a picture of the Man in the Moon on it. I loved it.
