Helen McLaren   0 #37 Posted December 21, 2022 I still have the model village in a box with a sliding wooden lid bought for me by my parents at Christmas1960 when I was 2 and 3/4. I remember going into the shop and Mum also bought a beautiful german angel figure with a wax face which comes out every Christmas - very carefully! I still play with the village with my grandchildren and it's loved by eveyone who sees it! It was a wonderful shop! This was long before Redgates....in the days when we used to walk up to the town hall past Davies' with wonderful marzipan fruits in the window - I always chose a strawberry. Sometimes we'd go to Cockaynes where I'd have an ice cream teddy bear in a dish. We also went to the Queen's Greek restaurant underneath the Classic Cinema for wonderful meals - the waiters were formal but friendly in the immaculate dinner jackets! Sheffield was lovely in those days! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
