Lillylace is referring to Freedom Road which is off South Road, I think you meant Freedom Street which was lower down.

If possible could any one give me more info on the pikelet shop as my daughter bought it twelve years ago it is now a hairdressing salon one of my daughters clients who live on palm st used to work there but has since past away we would love to know more about the history of the shop we know a couple of doors away a house had bacon written on the lintel above the door but this has since been painted out thankyou very much

Hello I believe we have met before i dont know about the pikelett shop but the other shop was Sauls the Noted Bacon shop.

In reply to Jamestree, the pikelet shop on South Road was run by Mr and Mrs Gretton or Gratton. Not quite sure which. There was a large, permanently hot slab, on which they poured the batter for the oatcakes and pikelets. There was also, next door, I think, the dairy run by Mrs Gladman. There was a huge tub into which Mrs Gladman would dive to dig out your ice cream!! I believe they made it themselves. I lived in Freedom Road in the 40s and 50s and went to St Mary's school, of which I have many happy memories.
