Another view of the shop showing the properties either side.
The chipshop was run by Mrs, Mitton,a very kind lady,she seemed always to be in a good mood,
SHOW SHOP.. I should have gone to Specsavers... Come to think I went a couple of weeks ago. Looks like they got my prescription wrong<g>
Dose anyone know what the shop to the left of the chip shop was?
Either that Ron, or you've started to develop a Yorkshire Accent, as in "there'll be no Frewt Cake for yew toow on toowsdaay in Deewsbury". Keep up the good work.
I think it was part of Greenough Street Methodist Church
I seem to remember the Church being a door or two further up towards the corner of Greenhough st and Scholes. There was a pub on the corner.....does anyone remember its name. I was told that the Church was built on the site of bombed out terraces/shops, after the First World war Zeppelin Raid. Any truth in that?
I think the pub was called the Windmill.
I was born in 1950 and lived next to the shoe shop at 10 Greenough Street. It was my grandma's house - Billy and Annie McDonald. We moved to Worsley Mesnes in 1954 but my grandma lived there till they were demolished. As a toddler I used to go into the Isherwoods shoe shop and look at the paintings. Dr Johnson was across the road when we needed him !
Does any one have information/photos on British Argentine Butchers that was on Greenough Street.
