Wasn’t that where Ray Harrison, a Rovers’ player from the 50’s/60’s, had a sports shop? I well remember buying my first referee’s uniform from that shop!And latterly owned by Hubert Bates.

His shop would be visible from the driver’s side of the bus. It was right at the top of E Laithe Gate and from it you would look down the left-hand fork of Thorne Road where the bus stops for Hatfield etc., were. Perhaps they still start from there…
