Remember the fishing tackle shop as Dick Bagglo’s ladies and gents hairdresser’s.
My dad and uncle Joe ran Mills butchers until its closure early oo’s.
In the 70’s I was in the Police and dealing with an accident at that location when some drunk oik came across and started assaulting me. Some punters from the shops came out to help me and I was quite grateful for the help. Memories of a long time ago.
The library was the butchers then the paper shop then barbers/hairdressers then chemist had lots of sweets from paper shop
