Cycleracer Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Anyone remember Tommy, he owned his own butchers shop in Pitsmoor for years. I knew him as a lad in the 60s and his Son Pete worked with him and eventually took over the shop when Tommy retired. I remember I was frightened by them as they once took me in the back room and threatened me with sharp knives. I was about 9 years old as I did the neigbours shopping at that time about 1968. They did it for a laugh, and i was terrified and crying and was reluctant to go in the shop after that. They would certainly be arrested for that today. Tommy though was a nice bloke, he is no longer around neither is his wife who worked along side him but his Son is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falls Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 A little off topic but do you remember Green's butcher's shop at the top of Spital Street - across from Langley's green gorcers. Old Mr. Green was still in the business when I was kid but eventually, his son Ken took over. Good people. Ken ran it until the whole area was redeveloped. don't know if Ken opened a shop anywhere else in the neibourhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cycleracer Posted March 17, 2006 Author Share Posted March 17, 2006 do you know if any of tommys family are alive Well Tommy and Elsie are both departed I'm affraid but I believe Pete there Son is around, I think he lives Gleadless way but I'm not sure. Falls, sorry I don't remember Greens but I was up the other end of Pitsmoor so Spital Hill was very alien to me in the 60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitsmoorboy Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 don't know if Ken opened a shop anywhere else in the neibourhood. Ken opened a shop up Verdon St. near what was once the Furnival pub. But I doubt it is still there . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
