I knew Grotto Gardens quite well, there was a childrens home on the estate, knew Bobby Clark who had two daughters one was called Joyce.
Alf Joseph who managed the The Golden Slipper Club lived there.

I worked with Christine Maguire at Hintons in Fowler St, not the Nook. She then went to the new store in Queen St which eventually became Presto's or something.
