cazzie Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Hi Timbuck, my mum worked there, but i think it was in the late 40's she had me in 1951 so i think she may have left work maybe 1950, she was called Betty Marshall, do you remember anyone of that name.

I didn't ... but the father of a schoolpal did. His name is Reynolds and lived at Sheffield Lane Top off Elm Lane. Always drove VW Beetles which were quite rare in early sixties. Isn't that where they made the dreaded shiny bog paper? Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the queues of a couple of hundred people all the way down the hill from Fishwicks fish shop on Friday lunchtimes Fab fish n chips, and scallops for 4p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
