Bygone Shop Names
replied on: 9/26/2004 12:12:27 AM Can you remember the Maypole's narrow back yard were several dustbins were kept. All kinds of meat used to end up in those dustbins and sometimes had to stand for a week. We called it Blue-bottle alley and if you stopped out there for more than a few minutes - you'd got it, what ever it was, sometimes taking a week or more to shift. I most probably saw you in Humphrey's work shop, used to call in quite a lot to do with m-bike issues. (late 1950s). Does 'Royal Enfield Crusader' bring anything to mind? After a while, the various shop name change-overs barely registered. It all became a bit of a bore. I was quite happy as long as the three main shops in Heanor remained the same, - Loui's, Elliots and the fish bar/shop on the market square. What more could you want, either before or after a visit to Loscoe Dam, the Dumbles, Shipley or the Peak. Can you remember the Butcher's, more or less across from Loui's, on Loscoe Road? The best Savoury Duck's in the Midlands. A last question. Was the 'Bon Bon shop' the small shop on the corner of the lane which led to Joan's Avenue from halfway down Loscoe Road, on the right. Packets of kaylie/caylie? and sherbet Etc. Azzabuv. |
