bladebeer Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 The shop at Manor top Barnards was a sarsaparilla and soda bar before Barnard took it over. The owners lived on Ridgehill Avenue As teens we all walked up to Barnards and had a drink from the machine outside,which was quite a novelty in 1957. We had loads of laughs and enjoyment without a mobile phone in sight. Who would have wanted parents checking up on us anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trastrick Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) Yes - 1960s directories show "J. Musgrove, herbalist" at 683 Staniforth Road. Hi Hillsborough: I'm looking to name the little strip of shops in Heeley Green than ran along Gleadless Road, from the Co-op through a number of shops including what we called "The Drink Shop", to the butcher, just before the Wagon and Horses. Our uncle had the chemist shop. If you could point me to a link, to a directory, say for 1950, you could clear up a little confusion for my brother and I. TIA By the way, our drink of choice was Vimto. Served hot in the cold weather. Edited July 30, 2017 by trastrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
