‘Bring back Jonny Ringos!’ Just one of your comments as you remembered this Park Lane diner

That’s according to some of the 56,000 Echo readers who showed an interest in our photograph of the former Park Lane diner which we posted on social media.

The photo showed the place in 1997 after it had just had an extension and more than 360 posted comments on your memories of it.

These scenes brought back great memories for thousands of you.

What stood out was the late-night Sundays and the food including chilli nachos, pizza and chips.
