replied on: 9/29/2005 9:55:49 PM Up until around 1950 that was Saxtons chipshop and greengrocery. After that it became what we called the junk shop. Anything and everything second hand you name it. Similar to Crooks just below the Church at the top of Mansfield Rd. I lost touch after that. |

replied on: 9/29/2005 10:31:07 PM The garage you mention was Boams. Below Marchbanks was Buxtons cobblers. Mr Shardlow the barber. Further down was Browns newsagent. There have been so many changes just there. |

replied on: 9/29/2005 11:23:18 PM Crookes second hand shop -top of Mansfield Rd-or Freds as it was known! Then it was taken over by son of Fred-still Crooks and they sold second hand musical instruments, records etc -eventually computer games. Now it is a Goth shop selling Gothic clothing , and "paraphenalia"! May still be in the Crooke's family.Next door to Freds in 1950's was a sweet shop which was run by an elderly lady-she used to be so grateful for any custom, as she didn't get much passing trade-or have much stock come to think of it! |
