My in laws Harold and May Fines had a shop on the corner of Salisbury and Middleton Street, they were there from about 1946 to 1961. This shop faced a pub which I knew as "The Marcus" [ Marquis of Lorne] and after I married their son, Barrie, I got to know this neighbourhood very well. I even spent a year living at the shop while we waited for our house at Bestwood Park. I can remember watching 'Saturday Night and Sunday Morning' being filmed which caused great excitement in those days. The Radford people were salt of the earth kind of folks and there were some real characters among them. Barrie's sister, Beryl, married the son of a very well known Radford couple, Min and Wilf Wilson from Pine Street. Among the names I can recall are: Alf Keys (the coal man), Mrs Lakam (who lived next door), the Staplefords, Hudsons (who had little Cliffy), Doris and Bill Devin, the Yorks and Nellie and Ernest who lived with Mrs Larkam. I think the beer-off across from the Fines' shop was owned by some one named Hawkins. We came to Australia in 1967 and only returned for a visit in 1980. We went to see the Fines' old shop only to find practically the whole area had been flatten to the ground. It made me feel really sad and remember picking up some of the old brick pieces to bring back to show Barrie. "The Marcus" was the only building still standing
