Photograph of Sharp’s corner shop that once stood on the junction of Nethertown Broad Street and Moodie Street close to where the ‘Lyne Tavern’ was, which is now ‘Tapas Ducal’.
At least three brands of cigarettes can be seen advertised for sale, ‘Capstan”, Envoy’ and ‘Woodbine’. Like many corner shops from that era, it is long since demolished.

John Grieve who stayed in Bothwell Place remembers this, and if his memory serves him well Mr Sharp had only one arm.
back in the day when cigs could b bought singually
Is that next to the pub?
The good old days
That was my Mums Uncle and Aunties shop. Frank and Mary Sharp, I remember this way back from my childhood 🙂
Yes Mr Sharp had only one arm amazing at the time to see how he used his stump to open bags etc. I worked with his son Frank across the road at Whiteheads garage who were Vauxhall dealers. Sadly Frank died after an accident in the Garage which happened after I had left. Memories Indeed.
I remember it well and Mr Sharp. Used it all the time growing up. From the 60’s.

Is any body have any more fotos of the area with the pub
this was my hubby’s uncle
Frank sharp run the shop for years, one arm and a stump
We used to live in the Lynne Tavern when my aunts meg and uncle John had it. Used to nip in here all the time.
I delivered Sunday newspapers for Frank in the 50’s. He was an amazing man to be able to run that store with one good arm.
Remember it well,found an old radio round the back of Sharps shop and took it home,gave it to a friends dad who used it for spare parts,as he built radios.
I stayes in Priory Lane and visited this shop many ties both as a teenager and a child. I remember Frank & his wife very well. I was fascinated how he held the sweetie jar under his stump and twisted paper into a cone shape then tipped the sweets from the jar into this – then twisted the top of the paper cone before handing it over. Lovely memories.
