The Traveler Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I would have been ten or eleven back in 1955/56 and I learnt myself to roller skate on the pavement outside Tuppholmes .it was also my mam's favorite store along with Blanchards on Spital hill. Life does not change it changes because we see it different.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodWalker Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Just a little off-topic but I went to school (Firs Hill Infant's) with Geoffrey (or Jeffery) Tupholme from 1947 to 1949. He was the son of the owner of the store. Rod Walker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
