I lived in Sheldon Heath road from 1956 to 1970 and remember her!!, I too was petrified of her, you had to have your polio etc injections and I'm sure she used a knitting needle to inject, soo painful, I dreaded going for injections. I once gashed my hand and had to have 3 metal clips stuck in there to close the wound,i was about 6 years old I still have the scars from the cut and theHi All
There was a doctors house about 4 houses down from the Radleys shops, across the road from
The big old house ( The Elms i think) The doctors name was Redlitch, sorry for the spelling, she was a German
doctor.
Wow what great photos, brought back memories. The sweet shop had a cadburys chocolate vending machine outside and you could get your hand up and get a bar without paying. The sweets were on the right as you entered and the papers on the left.The land down Sheldon Heath road had not been developed yet and opposite that land was open shrub land where every year there was a fair with big wheel, dodgers etc that as a young kid I used to visit, I remember the early Stones music playing on the waltzers and all the smells from the candyfloss and diesel fumes.Yes i remember Foster Bros, 12/6p for my sky blue jeans and i would put them on and sit in the bath
to make them shrink, (i needed a shoe horn to get them off.My mother would say you will regret that
when you are older,how right she was. I think these are on the Sheldon thread, but beings we are on about the shop names
i thought i would put them here. Also at the end past maypole was Paynes the shoe repairers.

I remember a fish and chip shop up from the movie theatre before the Cov Rd split. also a pub in the start of the split Cov Rd, Barrow Lane joined the Cov Rd just there. John Crump Parker, Colorado USA
That's right Nick, I remember now that Woodruff's was on Cranes Park Road. Robert, I also seem to remember the Newsagent on the junction of Church Road and Common Lane- I used to call in for sweets on the way to school. I think it was called 'Fred's'? - although I may be completely wrong!
Hi Sheldontony
Yes as stated Roger Cox was nown as rocker, i used to hang around
with his brother Barry. I think Rocker used hang around with the delisha mob, some names were sugar, smell, and chad.
I think it was the Grange pub where he used to sing on a Sunday Dinner. I do remember the chocholate machine on the wall outside tailor and waynes that you could put
your hand up and get a free bar.....so they tell me. I also remember there was a rail between Gosbell the butchers and Deeming where i would sit astride
the bar and swing round. Ough happy days.
