fleetwood Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 There was an herbalist/chemist shop top of Rushby st. I am talking Owler lane/Page hall area, that sold sarsparilla. the name was SCHOLEYS there was also a brother that ,had the dental practice over the shop and just around the corner was Scholeys ladies dress shop. Getting back to sarsparilla, was it originally an American drink as it was mentioned in their early soda fountains and in early American movies.

fourchairs Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Hi all you ex sarsparilla drinkers - my father - Toni De Donno owned the shop on abbeydale rd mid 70's. He used to brew the drink himself. I used to serve in the temperance bar my self some days.
