Default Memories of Greenways Tysley...

Seeing this post brought back memories of this old shop, I can remember Harold showing up on occasion & the shop was run by Ken Ashe's son...Is he still about?? (Kevin?)

Dave Carter (An old mate & excellent Angler) used to frequent the shop & was obsessed about the quality of Casters at the time, hence, on the wall, was a poster of a 'D.C. Type Caster' (Complete with 'smiley face')...

Sadlly, Dave passed on after a bitter-cold winter league match at Eckington & I lost a good mate & travelling companion...

Good crowd, used to go there, including the Downes brothers, who were both up & coming at the time (This was around the time of the Gudgeon-Bashing contests at Warwick (Grove Farm etc)...

Some good laughs in that shop...
