Yes I remember it! I grew up next door in the wool shop in the 60’s and I remember getting fireworks from them too

Hi, My sister married Roger Morcom the younger brother of David and Brian. Their Mom and our Mom who owned Barbara’s wool shop in Formans road were good friend.

Hi, was she still there in the 60’s? I grew up in the wool shop a few doors down and remember getting sweets from there. 1d Cadbury bar of chocolate, cones of pineapple chunks etc and Lucky bags! Was the pork butcher next door?

My sister and I used to buy all our records there, especially the beetles! It was the 60’s and the best music.

Very interesting, I remember most of those places growing up in the 60’s. Went to Dr Percy at the Doctors house, it was a lovely building but it was knocked down and replaced by a carpet shop or something like that. My sister and I often went to that restaurant to have sausage, egg and chips...

Great phot, I grew up in the shop to the left. It was Barbara’s wool shop then. Not sure if that is Thegla that you can see in the window of the fish and chip shop. They were a lovely family
