sparkymark Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Hello I’ve just seen on here about Roe’s tackle shop on Victoria road, in Woodhouse I’m a member of this family and I would love to find out more about them, I was very young the last time I was there but I remember that they had a outhouse where he kept the maggots, any old pictures would be great thanks, you can contact me at m.thomas@shu.ac.uk Cheers Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old tup Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) As a schoolkid with very little cash flow I used Dawsons a lot ,he used to sell fishing rods made from army tank aerials !. They were compact and fitted nicely to the underside of my bike they were cheap to purchase just the job for a kid on a budget,all kids living in the Hillsborough area used Dawsons!.

carosio Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 In the late 60s a local lad opened a small shop near to the Masons Arms on Langsett Road. I think it was called Andy's Fishing Tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shop appears in Kelly's directories as G. Andrews - see here from the 1971 directory: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carosio Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Thanks for that hillsbro, I knew the shop was close to the pub. 1971/2 was around the time Lower Walkley was demolished so many of these shops would soon cease trading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
