Goldberg's ladies and children's hoisery

Astonian

gone but not forgotten
Hi girls
How many of you out there can recall Goldberg's ladies clothing and pinafores and the rest of ladfies out fits
They was on Lichfield red Aston two doors from Thompsons
They was there until about 1955 before they closed down
They used to have brass casters on wires where they put the customers cash in and sent it flying across the shop in the air
To the office and big pound notes went up a tube and it also came down the tube then you got your change
My old lady used to send me down to that shop to get a pinny I think it was a OSS in size then I would get a penny for going
When I came back then I could buy 4 Black Jacks from Mrs Barnsley also she would take our ration coupons
If she had none I would run down along the Lichfield red to Mr wettons sweet shop and get a penny soda cream pop
From machine he kept on the counter best wishes Alan Astonian,,,,
 
I remember Goldbergs Alan, I remember buying a pair of green and white striped cotton pyjamas, with lace around the yoke and the bottom of the short legged trouser bottoms, this was in 1957 and they cost either 12/6d or 14/6d. The shop was a couple of doors from Heath's china shop if memory serves me right.
