my parents family used to own it and my mother and father used to run it for her father for him
until her father kept trying to tell my father how to run the shop
so he told him get somebody else to run it and they moved out in the the end the grand father got some-one else in the end
he was forced to sell the shop; also do you recal the bakers shop on the corner ; where they made whopping big
cottage loaves of bread with a big top on
