Speaking of the Coatesgate Cafe, It was one of my favourate eating places, Its sad that it is no longer there, & what makes it worse for me, I Went up the 74 a while ago & if it wasnt for whats left of Kings Quarry Face, theres is sweet nothing of the great Coatesgate Cafe, all gone, I only hope that the old drivers like myself remember how good it \was, nothing has replaced it for quality & value. Im an old aged retired long distancs driver from the 50s, & Im sure there must be a lot of oldies about that can remember what Im talking about come on you oldies do it now before its too bloody late. Regards Larry.
