hillsbro Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 In the 1925 directory, Nos 491 to 509 are all businesses, with "Thomas Edward Allsop, coal dealer" at No 495. Next door at No 493 was Herbert Taylor, a pikelet baker, and on the other side was Mrs Lily Lodge, "fent dealer" (that is, a dealer in cloth remnants).

hillsbro Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 The "fast food outlet" at No 511 was evidently an enterprise dating from after 1925, as "George Hy. Newbert, boiler firer" lived at 511 at that time. The other 1935 businesses had also evidently changed in the past decade - at 509, for example, was "Sydney Swindin, shopkeeper". Carter's casterets are a new one on me, though I do remember "Carters little liver pills". But as for things to make you "go", my grandma gave all her offspring a dose of "brimstone & treacle" every Friday night. My dad used to swear by the mixture - as he used to say "one ounce will make you sh*t one ton". But it tasted awful.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyer Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I must have very weird taste i sort of liked brimstone & treacle,at511 my mother would cook all night in the little yorkshire oven and when the workers came home the wife's would meet them with their dish's, pie & gravy in hand would walk home for mid-day or night time meal of course at 5-6 yrs old the pie seemed BIG ,at that time two spinster ladys ran the salon at 509 the name Vera's keeps coming to mind,but 68yrs is a long time to think back :help: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
