Ace Cafe Weedon Northants

Bit of a long shot, but has anyone got a photo of the Ace Cafe at Weedon Northants, when it was open, I worked there for best part of a Year and would love a picture of it.

No doubt you know what happened to it - if not see this and you are looking for the application number ending in 1358 (3rd one on 1st page)

you heard it here first

Hello folks, I dont think I remember it like the pictures so far posted.. I am sure it was larger than that. with big front windows and trees in front of that ..maybe I am wrong was it not on the northside of the A45? .I never went insidevery often always trying to get back to Maidstone before I ran out of hours with about 3.1/4 hours from home.. I think they might have had driver accomodation there and I seem to remember drivers overnighting going to the Duncow for evening refreshment.. I bet I have got it totally wrong...Regards Alan

If you mean the one on the left, going out of Leeds, before the A1, yes it's still there.

My expert can't remember if it's an early Olypian or a Daimler Fleetline.

hi redd9, i've just joined the forum, i noticed your post regarding the ace cafe,i used to use the cafe on a regular night trunk.we used to change over with harris road services from chester, that was back in 1972/73. I've just had a look at the pic of the old cafe, that brought back some memories, all those years ago. when did you work there? erfman
