I'm Bettys son in law, Married to her eldest daughter, although I have only know Betty for 5 years, I find her quite a caricter, I hope you will pass on our regards.

diezeltruck Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) On 22/12/2009 at 21:10, karl101 said: Wasn't the shop on Sharrow Lane called Hills Pantry, and painted blue? Just reading this thread after so many years after. I believe Hills Pantry was on Washington Rd, on the corner with Pearl Street. I'm not certain the name of the shop she had on Sharrow Lane (corner of Priory Rd) - it could well have been Hills Corner Shop? Whilst I'm here, the shop on Sharrow Lane, was previously run by Mrs Hazeltine, and before that, a Mr Frank A. Pegg. On the opposite side of the road, on the corner with Fentonville St., was Pulfreys corner shop, which was demolished in the late 70's - this shop (196-198 Sharrow Lane) was run by K. Pulfrey in the 1968 Kelly's directory, and V. Pulfrey in 1973. In the 1942 and 1954 directories the shopkeeper was given as John Martin.
