francypants Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Know it was a fishmongers but didn't they also sell rabbits skinned and hung up on a rail . Are you sure they were rabbits and not the strung up remains of people who had dared to open the trap door where the takings were kept ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurdys Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Hi Timbuck. The record shop was S. Barron & Co. There from 1953 to 1965 Stan Barron was my dad. He was a bit of a character with big moustache, Kids all called him Snudge. ( from TV program) Not only did he sell records but Tvs fridges etc. He used to have 6d in the slot TV. I was the first kid in the class who could count to 40 as I had to bag up all the 6ds before I could go out to play. There was a fantastic sweet shop up the alley to the left. Dad used to bring home a huge bag of goodies at the weekend. Just remembered Marty Kane used to sell records there as well. I worked for your dad lovely boss in 60's record bar at firth park your mum Amy lovely too great times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkydave Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Stan Barron was top drawer kind of guy . Should be proud of him has a father .Shop was great and like I have said earlier used it a lot .Once let me buy an album and pay for it over two weeks , no agreement just trust.

alan p Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Arthur Edwards one of the 4 Edward brothers who was well known in Castle market and the old rag and tag opened a fruit shop in Firthpark on the corner of Bellhouse road and Sicey Ave. That was around 1966/7 I think,I knocked around with Arthurs son Mick and I used to sell flowers for Arthur outside from the shop. I really enjoyed it meeting the people and he always paid me well. Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
