Cyril was my dad's cousin (my dad was Jimmy Nulty, sadly died in 2004).

Bob Henderson, as you'll recall, was married to Mildred (or was it Mabel?) Nulty, another of dad's cousins. I often used to pop into the Plough to catch up with dad and others when playing domninoes.

You mentioned Tommy Green - I assume that's Tommy Senior, frrom Kingsway (where I lived)? A real character !!

I remember going to the Cables Club a few times in the 60's, but I was onoly a kid back then. Didn't Brian Morris have it before he had Shaw Lane Labour Club?

Hi,

I seem to be a few years late here - I'm new on the forum.

My dad was Frank Graham (sadly passed away in 1992) and he loved playing dominos in the Plough.

Loving this forum, so much to read about - some great stories! (I may have 1 or 2 photos knocking about which I'll have to upload!)

Cheers,

Chris.
