    Unbelievably, Marcway on Attercliffe Road is still there. They used to have an second shop off the bottom of the Moor, but that closed years ago.

    I remember Zing Va as well, back when Chinese restaurants were considered "exotic" :LOL: .

    I started figures after I was given one by the owner of (no longer there) The Bedworth Model and Art Supplies shop when I were a lad, I then went through pretty much all of the Airfix 54mm and 1/32 multipose sets

    It all went wrong when it turned into a 'Model Zone' and basically became an overpriced toy shop.

    But don't diss the Topkapi Kebab House! They make their own sauce, which is excellent. It's next door anyway. ;)

    If you went round the corner from Attercliffe Road after Marcways, there was a bridge over the River Don, & I always remember the river was bright orange there because of all the chemicals from the steelworks which were being pumped into it! Bet it isn't that colour any more though.....
