My last notes from Celia Singer at Rickety Bridge confirmed it was the Singers who started the label with the Robins on it. Her last word was still reminiscent of 'Carry On', however. Commenting
on the old ‘rickety bridge’ before it was replaced by the new concrete bridge
by Robin Singer, Celia said it was a set of boards sitting on top of some
pieces of railway track. When a car came on to the bridge at one end, the
planks lifted like a see-saw and only came down with a clap when the car
reached the middle of the plank. It's different now, more acceptable but not the same adventure.
Unfortunately, I want to warn all those diving in to get a mortgage in these days of incredibly low interest rate - in
1999, interest rates climbed to what seems an unbelievable 25% and the financial burden became
unacceptable and the Tonkins left Rickety Bridge.
