Is anyone old enough to remember what shops used to be on the circle on hartley brook road? I know the chip shop has always been there and i think where brook bakery is used to be another bakery but where the bookies is used to be a butchers and another shop. Can anyone enlighten me on what was where?

I know for sure Pedro that there was a large co-op with a co-op butchers next door, also there was Shillitoes who sold all sorts of household goods like Joe Gould on Bellhouse Road,I seem to remember a Maypole and a Styans Bakery just like Firth Park.

Shillitoes is still there. A mate said there was a co-op but i can`t remember it

The Chippy as I remember in my younger days was called Queenies Chippy.

hello pedro1,
the shop where the bookies is now was a co-op butchers and after that in 1984 it was a fruit and veg shop

Yes and look how clean the shops looked then, you could even sit down on the seats or on the grass :rolleyes: shame the shops look a right tip now.

My gran used to send me to Queenies chippy she lived in Greghouse Road. Oh and the gunstones bread van takes me back too they stopped those in the 70s I think it was.:D :D :D Happy memories of Shiregreen. I seem to remember an old coach coming round selling fruit and veg too Allsops I think they were called.

I remember going to Queen'ies chippy after a few pints in the shiregreen hotel. My cousin and her brother have worked for Shillitos some years ago though. Used to drive pass the shops when my mother lived on Parson Cross, stopped using Hartley Brook rd when they built the stupid traffic calmers.

The bookies was co op butchers and next door was queenies chippy then next door was davies grocers.Across the road where the chemist is was pillings chemist and next to that goughs newsagents/post office.Next to the post office was fletchers bakery.Across the rd was buywise general store what is now the carpet shop and diy shop.The bakery was rogers bakery and the hairdressers was co op drapery.Shillitoes was gilletts general store and sunnys was two shops the middle one was bates wine shop and the end the co op.This is as far back as the person who told me can remember. :)

Think you`re just about spot on there dee. I`ve asked my mum who was born on the estate and that`s just about what she said. Who was this person you asked? My mum might know them. Pm me if you like

I can`t remember the bookies being a fruit and veg. The shop that is now a second hand shop next to the GT used to be a fruit and veg. I had my first saturday job there after leaving my paper round in the newsagents next door.
Talking of newspaper rounds, did anyone have one and how much were they paid? I worked 7 days a week and my star round at night was about 70 papers. I got £5 a week

Does anyone know where Hartley Brook cottages were,
I have a painting of them c1915.

The only cottages i know of used to be at the bottom of sicey avenue opposite the shiregreen hotel.

122 Albert Vettese - Fried fish dealer
124 James Davies - grocer
126 John Pilling - chemists

117 R C Hopkinson - grocers
119 Samuel Gillott - fruiterer
121 Brightside & Carbrook Co-op

Mr Pilling the Chemist.

Now, I remember from the 1980s a chain of chemists called Firth and Pilling. Was he the Pilling?
