I have an old Cossor TRF I use at times, even now it holds up well in to a decent long wire.
I love it- this is REAL RADIO!
Good luck
PS: I used to know Grove Park well, used to live down the road, used to see Souxsie Soux from the Banshees outside the station a lot and in the Baring Hall pub was it across the road?
Remember it was Ind Coope back in the day.
I bet the bus park/station is still there? |
That's fantastic, I love siouxsie soux! I knew someone who's mother went to the same school at the same time as her. According to some old photos I have seen, Grove Park hasn't changed much at all. I live in one of the flats built for the station workers back in the 30s, I think you would see many familiar sights and have no trouble getting around. Sadly the Baring Hall Hotel had a fire I believe in the 2000s and nearly burnt away but was restored and opened again. Covid seems to have dealt a fatal blow now though as it hasn't been open since last March... So let's see what form it takes in the future when someone hopefully takes it on (it's grade II listed).
