TWhits   11 #1 Posted September 9, 2018 (edited) Does anyone recall what I understand was a dress making / modifying shop on Barber Road, Commonside? It might have been called "Joanne's" and been somewhere near No 44. My wife's aunt used to run it and the family lived somewhere nearby - possibly in a flat behind the shop. I guess we are talking around about early 1950s. The aunt was called Joan Wattam but no-one of that generation is alive to ask now. Just trying to flesh out a bit of our more recent family history - any help or information would be appreciated.

Many thanks for that.  My wife now tells me she recalls visiting the place maybe in the early 1960s too, so there is a better chance that someone on here might remember it.
