I think it was called 'Dinsdale's Joke Shop'. Anyone remember if that was the case? And, if so, is it still?

Wasn't it essentially paid for the BBC but taken down for PR purposes? In any case, it's collecting dust now, last I heard it was going to Craven Park. I'd put it back up, all other major cities have one, probably because their residents don't kick up a fuss if money is spent on anything other than refurbishing their council house.
A tad obscure but a nice little coincidence on an excellent thread created by Look-back-in-amber http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruston_Parva "Ruston Parva is a hamlet in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 8 miles (13 km) south-west of Bridlington and lies just north of the A14. It forms part of the civil parish of Harpham. In the Domesday account the village is written as “Roreston”, and in 1066 and 1086 lordship of the manor was held by the Canons of Church of St John, Beverley.[1][2] Evidence of Medieval occupation has been recorded in the village though observations of earthworks, indicating ridge and furrow field systems, enclosures and a hollow way.[3] In 1968 ditch remains of a moat were observed at the south of the village. The moat may have been part of Upper House manor house.[4] Ruston Parva's Grade II* listed Anglican church is dedicated to St Nicholas.[5] It was built in Norman style in 1832 from ashlar and yellow brick, and has a tower supported inside by cast iron pillars. Its two deck pulpit and box pews also probably date from 1832.[6] Leeds based band Kaiser Chiefs originally named themselves Runston Parva after the East Riding of Yorkshire village.[according to whom?]" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiser_Chiefs "When they were around eleven years old, Nick Hodgson, Nick Baines and Simon Rix met in the same class at St. Mary's Catholic High School, Menston, West Yorkshire.[8] After leaving school, Rix and Baines left for university in 1996 whereas Hodgson remained in the Leeds area, meeting both Andrew White and Ricky Wilson. Hodgson, White and Wilson formed the band Runston Parva, its name a deliberate misspelling of a small East Yorkshire hamlet called Ruston Parva. After Runston Parva failed to secure a record deal, the group re-formed as Parva upon the return of Rix and Baines from university. Parva's career went beyond the boundaries of Leeds, and the band was able to obtain both a record and publishing deal. However, after Beggars Banquet closed the Mantra label, Parva were dropped and left desolate and without any direction after the release of an album (22) and three singles ("Heavy", "Good Bad Right Wrong" and "Hessles")."

Not a sight as such, but the smell of ale and ***s as you went* by a pub door and the site of smoke lingering from the ceiling to the table tops. Pea souper fogs. The point. Pelmets. Horse Brasses. The spot and whistle as you close the tv down after the national anthem. Robertsons Jam adds. See you at tea time. *I was going to put "as you pass a pub door" but I reckon that'd just make your eyes water.
