DUFFEMS Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Thanks DUFFEMS. I do remember 'Gowers & Burgons' but in the back of my mind I seem to recall a grocers by the name of 'Gallons'. I could be wrong especially as it would be over 50 years ago ! But thanks for the reminder ! Thinking about it, I agree that the name "Gallons" is there in some dark little cranny in my mind, oh, don't you just hate that. On "picturesheffield" there's a 1950's picture of Gallons Ltd. on the corner of Addy Street and Burlington Street, unfortunately, I don't know how to place it on here, just look under "G" on the drop down.

Joanl Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Wasn't there a similar chain called the "Meadow" as well....for some reason that just flashed into my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUFFEMS Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Wasn't there a similar chain called the "Meadow" as well....for some reason that just flashed into my mind. Yes, there were always choices of Gowers & Burgons, Meadow, Maypole and the Co-op as well as a plethora of little corner shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazjea Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Thank you Schoolrdgal and Elmambo. I thought my memory served me right even though it was many years ago and yes, I also remember Shentalls and I think I can now also remember a shop called 'Gallons' ( I may need to be corrected ! ). Funny how things spring to mind when reading through this forum. There were Shentalls and Gallons in the early 50s. Both were part of a chain of shops. As a kid I remember there being both of them, on Dykes Lane, among a group of shops which I think would have opened, when the Wisewood Estate was built.

PopT Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I think there was one of the shops near Hillsborough corner next to Timpson's Shoe shop if my memory is right. PopT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lolmob Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Just seen this thread. There was also a Maypole shop on West St, opposite the Glossop Rd Swimmimg baths ( I remember going to those for a slipper bath) and you`re quite right, there was also a Gallons shop. The one my mother used to send me to was right down Broomhall St, almost opposite Percy`s Barbers. Anyone remember him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
