Hi all, sometime since I have been in touch. Like the others, in my era we never actually knew the names of shop owners and workers. I lived on the estate from (born) 1936 till 1960. Of course I remember Boltons and the fish shop next door. The owner of the fish shop reminded me of silent movie actor Ben Turpin : a little fellow with black moustache and wire rimmed glasses which looked like they were made from milk bottles, and his white (?) apron almost touched the floor. We used to spend our dinner money on a bread roll bought from Clarkes which we scooped out and filled with chips. This was a long while before the phrase "chip butty" came into use, but that is in fact what it was. The Post Office, The Maypole, Boltons, Pearks, Morrell & Dixon, Whites Dairy, Snooky Snacks, The Oil shop (Hawkins), The Co-Op (my mums divvy number 87470), The Barber shop, Bakers (Clarkes), Greengrocers and the Grocers on the corner of Lancelot Road whose name I forget. Who needs Tesco, Asda, Morrisons or especially Lidl or Aldi ? Those were the days. Good luck all. Ken Catlin
