Thanks Lyn, be interesting to see more if and when you get some. I remember the pub, my best friend’s Dad used to frequent it. Anyone remember the Rose family that lived a few doors up? Dennis(father) Eileen(mother) with two boys Rob and brother Kevin. Rob, sadly passed few years ago now

and there she is in all her glory! and all that information about the place! From a sunny, warm morning down in NZ thanks to everyone who posted on this,very much appreciated.

Boy, has Aberdeen street changed!Think your right again re pub as I remember the cellar had large pavement opening for barrels. Off licence wouldn’t have that. Cheers Dave

Dead right there Lyn, that’s when the knitted balaclavas and duffle coats came in handy

Thanks Lyn, it will be good to see if anyone has anything relevant. I remember my mother telling me it had been an off licence but I remember it had a big cellar for storing barrels of beer in.

Does anyone have images of 1 Aberdeen Street? We moved there in 61 and changed the place into a Herbal Store. It was either an off licence or small pub in a previous life. Went to Summerfield school while living there, made some good friends

Hi Lyn, many thanks for sending those links through, much appreciated. Thinking back, family must have moved up to Stoke in late 62 early 63 as I remember the bad winter of 62 back in Winston Green. Cheers Dave

From the photos I’ve seen of the redevelopment, it is now, very, very different from how I remember the area. We moved to 1Aberdeen St which was in a previous life an off licence/ pub? Mom set it up as a Herbal store for a a couple of years before moving back up to Stoke for the family...

Thanks again Lyn, I remember the corner cycle shop. I think we moved from Hockley to Aberdeen St Winson Green in 61 as I think most along there were getting notifications of the new flyover plan that would be changing the area landscape . Cheers Dave

Hello Lyn thank you for taking the time to look. Think your right where you think the shop would be. It was next one up from the corner flooring shop, at least I think I remember it being a flooring shop. That must be Perrin's newsagent with the awning? Thanks again

I remember Bloom's from growing up in the 1950s, lived down from there at local Herbalist,. My mother ran Boots Health and Herbal Store at 117 Hockley Hill. I don't have any images of that shop, does anyone have anything?

I remember Blooms from my time in the 50's. We lived at the Herbalist shop down from there. Boots Health & Herbal Store at 117 Hockley Hill. Any one have images of that place?
