Johnny Ayres (the fruit and veg stall) and Don (RIP) who lived on Bank Street introduced Dad to Ron. Don was the one that hollered for Ayres, could be heard all over the market.

In the day, the Ayres v Ernald Hill (aka The Ayatollah) fruit stall war was the gossip on those pitches.

Then we had Hinchleys Cafe, Hudsons Music Bar, Gills, Barry the belt seller (also a Spireite), Tallulah the knicker seller, Market Foods, R J Burnett (the tea and coffee man), plus Maria the Italian lady who was stronger than an ox. Her daughter, Rosetta, asked me on a date once but for reasons I cannot remember it didn't come to fruition. Perhaps my Staffordshire accent put her off?

And who can forget the rent collector, Rex Hodgkinson?

Amusing times, plus many other folks too numerous to mention. I have a lot to thank the good people of Chesterfield for.

You've brought back some great memories there mate. You must remember big Norman (RIP) that worked on Ayres for many years. He was my cousin.
Maria bless her would do anything for anyone. I remember her best for running errands for the stall holders such as fetching them drinks etc. The last time I saw her daughter Rosetta she was working in Massarellas Italian cafe in the pavements shopping centre. I've never seen her since it closed down though.

Did my apprenticeship there from '71,asked OP if it was RJ of the Chesterfield Tube Company,but did not see a reply.

Yes mate it was Ron Jepson of the Chesterfield Tube Company as it was known then. I started working there in 74 and it was called TI Chesterfield by then.
I started work in the large cylinder department in the old works and thats where I met Ron. If memory serves me right Ron's daughter worked in the offices there for a short while. I think her name was Sharon.

The reaction on scabsnet to us getting play offs is so bitter it’s laughable. What a set of bell ends they really are 🤣

I'm heartbroken to know that it's upset them so much lol

Ron Jepson was indeed the ex mayor of Chesterfield and resided on Hunloke Avenue, a few houses up from Boythorpe Rd. A really nice bloke, unlike Sargent Jepson who didn't have a father on his birth certificate, and certainly wasn't nice at all, in fact he made The Witch finder General look a right whimp.

I had the great pleasure of working alongside Ron at the tube works in the 1970's Mr.O.
As you say he was a really nice bloke.
He was councillor Jepson when I first knew him but later became Mayor.
