You really could buy anything you wanted back then in our little town of Hyde. <br />I remember Shaw's furniture shop very well, just along from Garbetts on Newton Street. When we married in 1966, our parents bought us some wardrobes and a dining table with four chairs, aunts and uncles bought us a small bookcase/display cabinet all in quality teak from Shaw's, one of Kevin's auntie's worked there at the time, so I guess she got a bit of discount! The table and chairs have long gone, but still have the superb wardrobes and the little display cabinet nearly fifty years on!<br />I worked at Senior Service in the office block, and we finished work at 3pm on Friday's, and with it being wage day, I always wondered around Hyde market buying little bits & pieces (Towels, crockery etc) for my "bottom drawer" Hyde market was great back then. Then I would pop over to Robbins shop at 40 Market street and have a noey. Robbins was a super shop.<br />A & H Booth Taxis & coaches advert, The Booth family lived on King George Rd, just a few doors up from us, and I used to play out with their daughter Jennifer, we often made a den in our back yards with mum's old clothes maiden & old blankets, or we took ourselves off to the swing park at Gower Hey woods. Those were the good old days! And A & H Booth supplied the two taxis for my wedding in 1966.<br />Hyde was so good back then, it really did have great shops!<br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Trishnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-18426873037100850542015-07-21T22:15:13.111+01:002015-07-21T22:15:13.111+01:00The adverts bring back many memories of shops and ...The adverts bring back many memories of shops and industries that I knew.<br />MarjorieMarjorienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-2550916902106135842015-07-20T13:52:46.339+01:002015-07-20T13:52:46.339+01:00Tom!!!
