I lived right by sweetings grange rd ,till the seventies and remember the Sweetings Bert and his 2 sisters ,used to be fascinated by Bert cutting up the bacon , and cutting the Danish butter .Opposite was Dales another grocery shop ,and further on Ayres the butchers, along with other handy shops , you could get most of what you needed without leaving the road !I went to Wheelers Lane boys school, leaving in 1952,used to ride a carrier bike most evenings and all day Saturday for a grocery shop named Sweetings on the corner of Highbury Rd. and Grange Rd.for 12/6 a week if I remember correctly. now live in Somerset.
I was a proud member of that library in the early 50s. I never knew it was called The Carnegie Library though. I don't remember that building to the right, would it have been railway connected I wonder ?
