One of the greatest books of the last century. The first engineer I worked with when serving my apprenticeship gave me a copy. I still have it somewhere 50 years on

Do you remember the way you paid for items, the assistant would but your money into a metal container which they would then put into a metal tube which would be sucked through the tube to hold knows where and your change returned the same way.

Yes the Army & Navy stores were the same too your change & recipt came back up the tube

My mum worked in the cash office in T.J Hughes, it was her job to open the cylinders put the change in and send the cylinder back to the shop floor.

ROBY CROSS​

This is believed to be the Village Cross of Roby

It originally stood at the junction of Carr Lane and Roby Road and was moved to its present position in 1979
In medieval times, a market and fair were held in the vicinity of the cross, which may also have been a Boundary Stone.
