Bob`s Cafe.

A Memory of Redditch.

Does anyone remember Bob`s Cafe ? This was a place just behind the old fire station, in the same street as the Youth Club. I used to come home on leave from the Navy and head straight for Bob`s Cafe. All the teenagers used to go there on a Saturday morning and arrange what they would do on the Saturday night. Because most did not have a car, we would all end up at the Palace dance. After the dance finished some would go straight to Webb`s bakery and buy themselves a hot milk loaf and head for Brandon`s Fish and Chip shop on Unicorn Hill. We would get the loaf, take the top off and remove the inside of the loaf. Mr or Mrs Brandon would then fill the loaf with a tanner`s worth of hot chips. Those were the days. Early 60`s.
