Hello ALF,

Just been looking through this thread and I see that at one time you lived in Newtown Row.
I wondered if you remembered a Newsagents on Newtown Row by the name of Hudsons
I think it was close to Brearley Street There was also a Drapers shop and a Butchers nearby?????
I KNOW you must be glad to be home and hope you are feeling much better.
Betty

Here's a few more photo's of the New Town Row area, that I do not think have been seen on the forum before.

The one of J.A.Ryley's was taken in 63, I must have been inside the building at the time because thats where I worked at the time.
