Derek and Pauline Hughes opened their corner shop at 41 Rowheath Road, in Cotteridge, Birmingham in 1964 and it's still going ...



Apparently it's the UK's longest-standing business run by a married couple and is something of a local legend. See:

I should have added that I've shopped there myself in the past and it's very charming and brings back memories from even earlier times.

Me too, this was a trip down memory lane. My Nan used to love tripe and onions, I hated to watch her eat it. The market stallholders had a way of making you believe that you needed whatever they were selling. The crockery man pulled everyone in, including us, but how many cups and saucers do you really need lol.

Very true haha
Although I don’t eat red meat anymore, there’s not many things I’ve tried that I detested but tripe is at the top of my list! Eugh !
