Fruit and veg carts down hillsborough

Can Any Body Remember The Fruit And Veg Carts Down Hillsborough ?

[keefdave]

Certainly can. The one on Brier Street was owned by the Corker family and the one on Roselle Street was owned by the florist on Proctor Place (who's name evades my memory at the moment).

Yes, I remember them well they always gave value for money and i,m sure the goods seemed fresher than the plastics stuff you get from supermarkets.

I bought a book called a Hillsborough camera' its full of old photos of Hillsborough and there was one of the fruit and veg cart. I'd forgotten about them until i saw that.

I think the owner of the flower shop is Mal bingham- he used to sell fruit and veg from a barrow

That's it, I remember now (must be my age). It's actually Mick Bingham.

[jomarch]

No, I think it's Mal Bingley

[keefdave]

Mick Bingley??? Blond hair, glasses, thin bloke???

 

The shop was owned by Nellie and Mick and Victoria were her kids (both obviously grown up now)

[jomarch]

well, we got there in the end!

Thanks

This was the Bingley Family; I knew the son, Mick,. who I believe inherited the business when his mother, Nellie, passed away. He had a sister, Vicky.
