mrs grissom Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I think there used to be a dry cleaners there run by a young Chinese lad called Arthur. Not sure if it was his shop or he just ran it though. I remember he once saved my bacon when I splashed something on a new silk dress I was going to wear for a wedding. My Mum rushed it down to the shop and they did a great job getting it out. Not sure of the dates though , thinking early 80s maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8balltiger Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 And there used to be the betting hut, William Hill in the Dev car park before they opened the shop, if I remember correctly. Well before my time , Tesco was a cinema and back into my day, Jeffs chippy and NSS newsagents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
