The discount store was previously the Queen's - my aunt's pub!

The Newspaper shop on the right was run by George - quite well known in the pubs.

Brilliant photo, half of Wallgate and later Marsh Green and Worsley Hall went to that little doctors. Turn right at the corner down Miry Lane as fast as my little legs could carry me and home from school to Yates Street.

Gerard and Francis Malley who used to work at the Malley cobbler shop were my great uncles. Is this shop still standing? Went to the other Malley shop at 161 Park Rd at weekend
