Hi Lyn, thanks for replying to me I appreciate it, I have seen the photo but unfortunately it is a bit further up the road towards the Witton Arms, the other side of the Station, I remember the shops well, the first one was a sweet and tobaconist shop, there was a shoe shop, I remember when I was 14 going in for a pair of shoes costing £1. 10 shillings, a lot in those days, anyway the shop was crowded and no one would take my money, I really did try yo pay for them, in the end I just put the shoes on and walked out, leaving my old worn out ones behind, Moyle and Adams was where our next door neighbours daughter Eileen worked, she brought loads of old and discarded empty cartons and display packaging home for her sister Marion to use in their shed, her dad turned it into a shop complete with an old till and weighing scales, we had great times playing in there, just next to the Witton arms was a greengrocery shop, my dad would often push his old handcart up to the pub laden with the vegetables he grew in the garden to sell, I don't think the greengrocer was too pleased though.
I am looking forward to any other photos that you might come across of Witton and Aston, we moved to Tame road in late 1956, I have seen a few photos of Tame road, also Deykin Avenue School where I went to, also Yew tree road juniors and infants.
