Kidorry Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 The Barber was Harry Brammer (I think) then Bottomleys paper shop corner of Thistle & Spital St. further up was a shop called Bensons, then the chip shop, after that was the Cromwell View pub corner of Spital & Verdon St. then I think there was another shop past the Cromwell View. On the other side coming back down was Northcliffe's (not sure of the name) further down was the old butchers, then Booths, and on the corner of Brunswick Rd. & Spital St. was Langleys green grocers. That sounds spot on to me Pitsmoorboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
