Did anyone live in Saffron lane area of Leicester in the 1950's? If so, di you know these two people. Tony and Eric? Sorry didn't know their surnames, but they went everywhere together. I believe that they have both now died but would like to know when and how please for a friend of mine.
Impossibility I know but just a chance that someone may know of them. They used to go to Duncan Road club and also collisseum cinema a lot.

If you are searching for them for a friend - does the friend have any further information?

Thanks Reggie, but Saffron Lane is a very long street with lots of roads off of it and all my friend knew was that they lived in that area. She lived in the Belgrave area of Leicester and met when they came to that area usually at the weekends. Had they been alive, they would have been in their 70's now.

It is very unlikely that anyone living in that area at the time, knowing these two men will come across this in the near future.

There is a facebook page for the Saffron road working mans club merged with Duncan road club

Have you put a message on there? or you could give them a call

Thanks Jax, it was just on the chance that someone might see it. I will have to take a look at the items offered. Thought they were only on the friends site. :-)

What friends site?

If you mean Friends Reunited that went by the wayside when Facebook came about..

I have not noticed anything happening on there for the last 6 years or so and I have been a member since it started in 2000.....although I expect some people still use it

Nothing much

I have retried it but it's just not the same now. Hard to find anything. I guess facebook has outdone them.
