Mrs Killalee at the first house on the left had a small shop.She would let us use our sweet coupons a month in advance. There was also a small shop in Anlaby street run by a man with one arm Mr Farnsworth,He also let you use your next months coupons in advance.

I had forgotten about the blue sugar bags. Talking about Mrs Killilee, I wouldn't dare go in a shop and ask for two ounce of sweets now.

There was also a little shop in Rawson Street in the living room.I think the name was Taylor.This was another shop that would let you have your sweet allowance in advance during rationing.

If I've got the right streets my Grandmother Shepherd lived at 10 Cottam street up until the 1960's. I remember a tripe shop on the main road that had a dog made out of Park Drive packets in the window. Also the local barber where us youngsters stood on a box and he walked around you to cut your hair!
