The toy shop was Leigh's and Dawson's Sports Shop was where I got my first tennis racquet. Either next door to the Cheese or next door but one was Bentley's who sold clothes for posh kids and I got my Astley Grammar uniform there. From the corner of Edna Street, the 2nd shop down [next to the confectioners] was a ladies hairdressers owned by Gladys Whitehead [nee Robinson].Werneth Lownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-7091589119591561982010-12-17T10:59:15.608+00:002010-12-17T10:59:15.608+00:00Hi Eric

Sarsaparilla was my favourite drink... I still get it in cordial form... it is quite nice hot... just like a hot vimto is... Mr. Fitzpatrick also did the very best Dandelion & Burdock I have ever tasted. I'm sure if pubs had sold this when I started going in them I would have got in a lot less trouble when younger... ha!<br />I seem to recall either the same shop or the one next door being a 'junk shop'.. now I'm going to be thinking about this all day.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167792394551286975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-74475250452556051512010-12-17T09:16:20.366+00:002010-12-17T09:16:20.366+00:00Going back even further in time the shop next to t...Going back even further in time the shop next to the Cheshire Cheese was Harry Dawson's sports shop.<br />Who remembers "Vimto's" the Temperance Bar in the corner which is now Cloves Indian Restaurant?downsie21https://www.blogger.com/profile/09983084780138774221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-32769866692437450062010-08-23T18:55:40.815+01:002010-08-23T18:55:40.815+01:00I'd forgot about the Round Table...

That must have been 1972-74.. <br />It would be excellent if we could get some pictures of the ones you have mentioned Nancy..

I recall it had a mosaic of a Jester on the inside wall, made from small bits of tiles. At one time it competed with Meschia's milkbar.. one attracted 'mods' and one 'rockers'.. The laundrette used to come in handy when it was raining... . great post Nancy... fill my head with memories of my mis-spent youth..Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167792394551286975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-75596526174299916332010-08-22T22:34:30.786+01:002010-08-22T22:34:30.786+01:00Quite amazing how the laundromat of all things has...Quite amazing how the laundromat of all things has survived the changes.Gerald (SK14)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18308693910074268386noreply@blogger.com
