Comment: Used to spend every Saturday in there looking through singles and smoking fags with Julie who worked there in the 1980s - loved it.

Comment: Memory Lane had two family owners, Dave Goodacre who sold it to ex-Sergeant Major Thompson, who was Tony Thompson's father. Tony inherited the shop on the death of his father. Tony carried the business on and traded from Bridge Street until it closed approximately seven years ago. Tony was a highly respected local DJ who died some four years ago after entering into acute depression. Memory Lane Records was never in the fish market under his ownership, although the name Memory Lane was never copyrighted so anybody could have traded under that name after the shop's demise.
