Hello Betty. I'm 10 years older than you but I too went to Warrington Lane School in the 50s and I also lived at number 30 Darlington Street, next door to the post office. There was Roy Simpson's on the other side of us and we lived in the telly shop. Do you remember that? It was called Matthews' and we sold tellies and radios - my dad also did repairs. There was Humphrey's butchers on the end of our row, Taylor's who sold paintings, the Jolly Mill, Whitworth's who sold furniture. I can pretty much remember them all. I must have gone into your shop many a time with my mum! As a very small child I'd go and visit every shop on our side of the road, bounced on the beds at Whitworth, had tea with Mr & Mrs Taylor, cakes with Mrs Occleshaw in Simpson's etc. Wasn't there a toy shop next door/but one to you?
