GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN R.I.P.
Greasley Norton the bakers on the corner of Upper Thomas St.The tripe shop across the road from the swimming baths,don't remember the name,but it was our friday night special,hodge and chitterlings.After going swimming,dependent on how much money I had it would be a faggot from the tripe shop...2d.or a bread cob from Greasley Nortons... a halfpenny.
Now that, people, is REAL food!
There was a chitterling shop on the corner of Bevington Road and Trinity Road, opposite the Rat Pan pub, and when I was very small, in the early 1950's, I remember seeing West Indians queueing up there. I can also remember my gran buying a pair of pig's trotters from that shop; they looked revolting but tasted absolutely delicious.
Off-thread a bit.
Mmmm, hungry now...
