The Nightingale Camp Hill 1969
1969
“A
tin shack (the original Nightingale), by the flyover on the Stratford
Road. It opened at 10pm, only on a Saturday and Sunday. Then it moved to
Aston, then Thorp St, then now, and got better with every move. You
went there with the risk of gastroenteritis if you ate a beef burger.
You paid for the music on the juke box, and it was raided every
Saturday night because somebody was smoking pot. It was the only place
if you wanted to stay up till 2 in the morning.”
