walt Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 This swap shop was a few doors down from the Ball Inn. I can remember before it was the swap shop it was Huntingdon's newsagents in the late 50's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopT Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 I used to work near his old shop in Grimesthorpe. We looked in the shop everytime we went to the chip shop. He had the most incredible items in the shop. I still own a plate camera and brass bound tripod which I bought from him. One time he had a full sized Huskie sled which must have been ten feet long. On another occasion he had a Corsican vendetta knife which had a solid silver handle. The place was a treasure trove in those days. Happy days!

bullerboY Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I think he had the biggest collection of nookie books in England,we used to service his car in the sixties and as a tip he would tell us to go in the back and pick half a dozen of them,we used to argue who was taking his car back.
