Captain_Scarlet Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 If anyone knows about that chippy in the row of houses now Ponsford, my great aunt (or sommut like that owned it). I'd love to hear bout it, apart from imagining smelly lard instead of leather I don't have much to go for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Phillips, at the pork shop AFAIR, only had a son ... Young Walter as he was known ... don't think he ever married but I could be wrong was only a child at the time. Jessie Pashley's shop was further up past the bottom of Albert Road ... maybe where In A Nutshell is now. We used to be sent there to get pork sandwiches sometimes ... yummy they were too! Although we mostly got pork from Mr Phillips shop. The chippy was a chinese chippy in the 60s called the Sun? They used to do these rissole things called savoury cakes, they were lovely!! Trying to remember the shops when I was a teen, Proctors(mum always got potted meat from there, home made, I think and sugared almonds, Ponsfords had about four or five of the shops, then the Rendezvous coffee bar, a greengrocers, The Sun chinese chip shop, White Lion, then Kings the Grocer, then the genuine USA style Bendix Launderette at the bottom of Artisan View, Freddie Wood's barbers and hair salon, a wet fish shop, another greengrocer, gregorys bakers, Walter Phillips pork shop, don't know whether the bookies was there then, then the motor bike shop (which used to be Wigfalls years before), Thirlwell Rd, Red Lion, Albert Road, Crown Inn, then a little sweetie cum all sorts shop which was once a pig shed or something, I can't remember anymore till Taylors at the corner of Meersbrook Park Road and the Co-Op on the other corner ..

Applegrim Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Rubydazzler, yes you're right, you also remember the little black hole at the bus stop.Now another thing, do you remember a sweet shop at the corner of Well Road(I think) opposite corner to the Heeley Palace.I can remember looking in the window, with eyes as big as saucers to an Easter egg which was the size of a huge rugby ball, can you remember that?

Mark H Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I am sure that my sister-in-law lived at 65. The shop on the corner (that is now Ponsfords) was a bakery,confectionery & sweets owned by Proctor's, the son's set up in business as- Proctors Haulage & Storage. Cynthia, Canada. Wow, small world. Ask if she lived next to a mad doberman pinscher dog named Prince!! Where abouts in Canada? Been to Calgary 3 times with work this year!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
