paddy1534 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Hello! I've just been browsing this topic, with great interest I might add!!! I have a question for those historians out there! Does anybody remember there being a shop at the end house on Smith Street around the 1950's?? I have been told that it was once a sandwich hop that served Parramore's foundry! Any info would be great, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been told that it was once a sandwich hop that served Parramore's foundry! Any info would be great, thanks No 63 was the "top" shop on Smith street. In was run by the Hendrys before being taken over by the Hardwicks and finally Christine Cooper.( Then it was known as Christines shop! ) It reverted to being a house around the time when Parramores closed. No 13 was Garratts shop. Edited January 2, 2011 by satman2222 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddy1534 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Thanks Satman for the info, would love to see a picture of No' 63 as a shop, would also love to see a picture of Parramores, seem to be quite rare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahlizxxx Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 My GG Grandad used to have a photographers and hairdressers on Station Road. Number 31 i think, which is where the chippy is now. Charles Parkin and son i think it was called. I have an old photo with this printed on it. Does anyone know anything about him? Would be interested to know if there are any other of his photos around, in history books etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basalt Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I know this is an old thread but I was reminded driving through this morning of The Handyman's Shop under the bridge, sold everything from nails to onion sets. The little building is still there and I think it was a kitchen sales outlet at one time, not sure what it is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
