aramis Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Hello Bazza Yes I remember Herretts now was opposite to my Dad`s shop, a little to the left. I remember looking across from our shop around Christmas and the queues outside Kelseys were horrendous. Interesting you worked at Wiggies. I worked at Woolworths in 1964 when I was at school, filling shelves up and crushing cardboard boxes upstairs, boring work but the shop girls were fun. I was filling a shelf one day dressed in my Ernest Garnett lookalike overall when a large woman with an even larger hat said to me " excuse me young man " " Do you know where I can get felt " .............

aramis Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Hi Harvey, Drawn a blank at Harry Brindley. My Mum seems to rememeber more about the shops than the residents. She told me she took me to see the Misses Kay when I was baby wrapped in a sparkling white shawl. Now, the sisters spent all early morning sorting out the newspapers, and by 10 a.m. their hands were as black as Harry Belefonte`s, my mothers cringes now, at the memory of Clarice saying " Oh isn`t he lovely, let me hold him "................

hillsbro Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) Does anyone know if how to post photos on this site? I took several of the shops on the weekend.Hi Paul - you can upload them to an image hosting site - I use photobucket.com - and then post links.

beechnut Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 ...Here is a sketch-plan of the shop as far as I recall. The barber's chair naturally faced the mirror and sink which was on the back wall...."Chair for victim" - I like it! .. ...And he would poke your head with the pointed end of his scissors if he wanted you to turn....Yes - Ernie Garnett also used to cut my hair, and I remember feeling the sharp end of his scissors!.

superchantty Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 My friend and myself were talking about the shops in Hillsborough, we were both born in 1944 and lived in Hillsborough. But we couldn't remember the name of the Tobacconists at the corner of I not sure whether it is Brier St or Rosalle St. We would live to know.
