Maureen   10 #1 Posted March 5, 2004 Can anyone remember the Manor Castle Village with the whitewashed cottages, Bertha and Billys Shop and the Post Office which stood back from the road.  Maggie from the Castle (Turret House) and her little dog ?

lazarus   68 #2 Posted March 6, 2004 (edited) I remember Billy in the little shop on Manor Lane, it was Paluzzis shop. My Mother used to take me over to the shop from our house on Harborough Avenue across the Manor Fields, looking back now I think she used to get things on the strap. I will always remember Billy, he always had a big smile on his face whenever we went in, happy days.  Lazarus Edited December 17, 2014 by lazarus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Maureen   10 #3 Posted March 6, 2004 Thanks Lazarus, My mom used to have strap, and we would sometimes have to go up the entry to the back door after 8.00 oclock and fetch her a couple of woodbines to keep her going until my dad got paid.

Clik32 Â Â 10 #5 Posted March 21, 2004 My mum always goes on about the old days of climbing up that chimney. Looking for the crown jewels??!! She always goes on about having to wear socks on her hands for gloves, bricks in the oven to keep warm and all 6 brothers and sisters having to use the same bath water in front of the fire!
