Hi bish thanks for getting back, sorry cant remember the chip shop we used Pauls facing wright road real white chunky pieces of cod mouths watering as I type and the other chippy in highfield road next to the newsagent .I remember the name Bywaters and remember mom mentioning them with regard to some nice ham. I remember Mrs Brookes she was a frail old lady as I remember went in there for the sports argus the pink paper and occasionally blue always dark in her shop even with the light on, I used to get my sweets from Fullbrooks on the way home from St Saviours asked for the 1d tray or the 2d tray if I was flushed or a lucky bag or even a jubbly in that triangular carton frozen or liquid if I was thirsty. Collected many sets of the cards given with the bubblegum packs, this would be 1957 to 63 . I also remember the flower shop next door Dyoss they used to have buckets of flowers outside on shelves my nan Alice Hirst 41 Reginald road bought flowers from her every week and they took pride of place in the front room window there was always a lovely smell when you walked past that flower shop. You know bish this has been a wander down memory lane Many Thanks keep posting was born at 41 Reg Road Dec 1952. would spend Saturday dinner around 12 at the side of Atkins bakery up the entry waiting for Mom to fetch the hot crusty rolls out of the oven and she would spread the butter on thick and let it melt into roll before giving me one and if I was really lucky she would let me have the jar of glace cherries to have a go at i'm starving now!! cheers Rich.Hi. Blueboy nice to know you have fond memories of Groves what a great shop for us kids. I remember Atkins and Barkers where I would go with my mom for the weekly meat next door to Atkins was Mrs.Brookes the tobacconist. further down was Goldbergs a double fronted shop selling ladies cloths. Are you old enough to remember the fish and chip shop between Wright Road and the Rock picture house it later became Bywaters a cooked meat shop. Ho such memories. Bish
