trastrick Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) Thought it was just one name at first , that has sorted that out hillsbro . It was a great general store . There wereat least two Gowers locations in Heeley from 1945 to 1960. Near Anns Rd school! One at Forster Road and Boyton Street, and a later location (moved?) a block away at Gleadless Road and Forster Road! I remember the polite gentleman behind the counter, "Thank you very much obliged!" Also remember other general groceries in the area, Maltby's, Poulter's, Hurst's, Unwins, Cuttles, Spencer's, Med's (Mead's?). Memmots, Crowsers, Flears, Bullaces, Websters. Most took t' tick until you ran out of credit and had to go a little further afield 'til Friday! Edited November 21, 2017 by trastrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbeyedges Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 There was a Gowers on Lowedges, the Magpie set of shops. Not sure if there was a branch at the terminus end of the estate. Going off subject slightly - my memory of those shops were, Coop plus Coop butchers, Ditchfields, Gowers, Jacksons, Library (there until Greenhill library opened), Bennetts, Stringfellows (?), Chemists.

Cannot remember the Co-op wallpaper shop. Jacksons started to grow and grow. Did they eventually take over that shop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
