Actually Shane Fenton/ Alvin Stardust original name was Bernard Jury(Hope I spelt that right). My brother went to school with him at Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School in Mansfield. Sadly now a comprehensive coed. Also all the trees leading up to the school have been destroyed for what reason I cannot comprehend. Alvin Stardust died not so long ago.
My family moved to Mansfield not ...see more
I remember these shops. Turn up Vale Road and there was a shop called "Fenton's". The owner's nephew was (is) Shane Fenton who had a couple of hit records before becoming famous as "Alvin Stardust".
I can distinctly remember visiting Marsdens with my gran, she used to buy loose butter and loose lard, it was cut from a large block. Te guy who worked there had been there years, I think his name was Geoffrey.
Greens shoe shop, where I was measured and fitted for new school shoes, was run by Mrs Green, that was the shop next door (the other side of the jitty). Pure simple times, pure memories.
