curriechick Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Don't know why but as a kid i always remembered Kutters Korner on Attercliffe, i can't remember what they sold though? I think i just liked the name of the shop! Hi Billy Kutters Korner across from Hitchens, sold childrens toys and bits and bobs, when my two were little they used to spend their spending money there most Saturdays. Rossingtons Bazaar you could get almost anything there, when my son was 10-11 months old my aunt bought him a walking aid from there it was a stuffed white dog on wheels with a handle at the back to hold onto and push. He adored that dog, and later on my daughter learnt to walk with it too. At one time you could do all your shopping on Attercliffe Common, it was buzzing on Saturdays, there were butchers, greengrocers, bakers, clothes shops, hardware stores you name it. I used to love it and went there recently for some reason and it is unrecognisable nothing is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justiom Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I have a photo of Les and Muriel Fox with my grandad at Dam Flask. They were really nice people who lived next door to my grandad at Basford Street, Darnall. Does anyone have a photo of them outside or inside their shop at Rossingtons Bazaar?
