Hi just wondering if anyone can remeber going to Frederiks Tailors shop (my father in law) in the 50's 60's originally on langsett Road then he moved to Middlewood Road where the exelsior chinese is now.
He originally worked for Barney Goodman before setting up with a collegue, father in law's name Fredrick Hallam colleague Eric hence the name Frederick.

Any information on this would be grateful he has now sadly died and my husband only has a small recollection of the shops
Thankyou.

I used to go to Fred Eric's when they were on Langset Rd.
This was in 1964.
Before that they used to be on Middlewood Rd opposite Hillsborough Park if I remember.
I still have an overcoat made by them ,The material was Cromby ,it is a tweed ,and I still wear it on special occasions .

I lookes at the label in the coat.
The address was 38. Infirmary Rd.
I had the coat made Nov 64

Thankyou sweetdexter it's nice to know that your coat is still wearable I have passed this info onto my husband and his 2 brothers thanks again

At one time the Frederick shop employed a lovely looking girl by the name of Mary davy.

I always used to call in to see her whenever I was passing the Middlewood shop at the bottom of Leader Road.

I went to school with her brother Stanley Davy, they both lived on the Sutton Estate at that time.

Happy Days!
