Nice set, how long ago would that have been made?

Was a great shop loved looking around and spending way to much. Lots on the nets of wood they always had at good prices.

It's with happiness and sadness that I read this post Grandad. I used to spend many happy hour with my dad at millers dale and latterly at Bradwell.

I remember the sets well, they look superb and done a good job of them as we would have expected.

Thanks for the memory trip.
