That's probably a Wispa (sp) bar. Back in the 80s, I had a girlfriend from Billingham who told me about them, but I'd never seen them and told her she was making it up. Turns out the North East was the Wispa trial area in '81 and it wasn't launched nationally until '83, at which point I apologised to her. Fascinating stuff...

Equiniti is a legit share registrar. You could google their contact details and give them a ring. It may be From something like an old building society account which got taken over by a bank and account holders were allocated bank shares. My sister just got some from when Abbey National was taken over by Santander ages ago.

He's like 400 yards away so for me that's nearby and I still regard him as a neighbour, though for some that may not qualify. But yeah I could have just said neighbour.

    • Thanks penguin  always wondered about that place and that’s way more info than I ever thought I would get  (used to live above a gun nut on friern road - he would tell me nothing)
    • There was a Saturday afternoon crowd of enthusiasts, and at other times the owner might have been off acquiring stock. He also repaired air guns, which he also sold. He stocked edged weapons, uniforms, including antique uniforms, air guns and ammo and starting pistols and shot. Some medals and other militaria. Quite a lot of ex service chit chat on a Saturday. I had an amateur interest, didn't deal a lot, in English pattern swords and other mainly 19th century militaria. And made some good purchases there. I'm afraid WWII and later events was the major focus of most of the regulars. 
    • Did anyone actually venture in to that place? I recall it always being closed/very uninviting!
    • Perry Bamonte from The Cure.. Just 65 years old.
