I am looking for a Marvin Mayor. His last name is pronounced "Mare", but not sure how it is spelled. He lived in Biddulph, had a wife, Lorraine who is divorced and re-married and a son Nigel. He was last seen 5 years ago working in a pub in Congleton, hooked up with the landlady. If anyone has any information please contact me. Thank You.

Instarted in April 1979 and worked as a Front-Of House volunteer until December 1993 when I was taken onto the payroll in a full-time capacity as Stage Door Keeper. I remained in that post until the closure of the theatre itself in 2000 through three different managements (with occasional periods of unemployment between each one!). I was actually on duty on the very last show ever staged at the Theatre Royal, thus therefore the last in a long line of Stage Door Keepers. I’m proud to have been there on that final night. Would love to see the archives from back then of all the gigs thanks

I lived on Mackenzie Road, Lower Kersal and grew up there in the 1960s. There were 4 corner shops – Mrs Kelly’s for groceries and sweets I think, Mrs Hope’s for sweets, Mrs Ashton’s where I was sent for 2 pints of Jersey milk and bacon cut on No.8 setting, and Mr and Mrs Fildes’s who sold fish and greengrocery. They always had a black cat. The social club was at the top of the street. There was also a garage there where I was sent to buy batteries, etc. The lady had blonde hair and glasses – can’t remember her name. The Racecourse Hotel was across Littleton Road. There were allotments there, too – my parents had one. Opposite the pub were Chadwick’s newsagents (this had lots of choice for sweets and the penny tray), Mrs Porter at the drapers – she had a black poodle called Pierre who used to bark when you went in, the hairdresser’s where my mum used to go (Beryl?), Mr Goldstone the Chemist. Further down Littleton Road round the corner from St Philips’ Church were the chippy, Mrs Lancashire at the off licence, O’Brien’s greengrocers, Mr and Mrs Mills at the butcher’s and another newsagents at the end of the row. Opposite was H Bescoby’s and a dry cleaners I think. I remember the playing fields on Littleton Road and the red path which ran along the side of the fields. Noonan’s had a wool shop further down towards Cromwell school. Mrs Noonan had the shop and her husband had the ice cream van. I used to take cups and bowls to him for ice cream so we could have ice cream floats with lemonade. Used to have twist cornets as well which were delicious! The mineral man also used to call round with pop, and I used to take bottles back to Ashton’s to get money back off them!
