I met them at Redgates toy shop in Sheffield in 1974.
It's not as good as when I met The Wurzels in Newtown, Powys.
They bought me a cheese and onion sandwich and a bitter lemon in the Elephant and Castle pub.

It was indeed wonderful. Far from that now, though! It was empty and almost derelict the last time I was there. I presume that the staircase is still as it was! My three favourite shops: Snig Hill Coop, Suggs, and Redgates! Oh and Andrew’s stationers at the back of City Hall!

I agree. Closest big city to Bakewell, so we used to do lots of shopping trips. My mum liked shopping at Cole Brothers. And in the 70s, Redgates was the best toy shop in the north of England.

Remembering Redgates toy shop in Sheffield. It's where you used to go and look at all the stuff you wanted but couldn't have for Christmas. Sadly no longer around.
Happy times dragging my Grandma around there going, Can I have that? Can I have that?

The hole in the road was exciting because it was next to Redgates, the best toyshop I could imagine.

While it was not THE Hole In The Road, there was indeed a hole in the road near Redgates, and in the middle of it was the infamous footbridge over Arundel Gate.
