Sheffield corner shops past and present.

[nosy nellie 10]

Down Rudyard Road in the old days we had four corner shops living so close to all the Hillsborough shops I wonder how they made them pay,but they must have done at the time, funny but there is not one left now.

when i was a child we used to go to the shops on east bank rd at the side of pearl motors,one was ellisons the other was piercys.

my mom sent me one sunday afternoon to ellisons and the shop was shut,i tried the door and their dog came bounding at the glass door and came straight thro it ripping my dress from the waist down.

we used to go in piercys and pinch penny arrow bars and other sweets and go and sit in the scrap cars at the side of pearl motors scoffing.oh what naughty girls we were.ha ha

I remember Bucklow's corner shop near Concord Park Gates - corner of Bellhouse Rd and Shiregreen Lane in the forties and fifties. Large bottles of Dandelion and Burdock plus lemonade, limeade, ice cream soda etc were favourites then...or an ice cream on your way home from the park.

I grew up in Tinsley,can anyone remember Bosworths shop on Norborough road? with all the jars of sweets in the window,spoilt for choice! And a bit further down,Mollys beer off? I remember a little fruit shop half way down Raby street,cant remember the name though. It brings back some happy memories of growing up round Tinsley in the 70s/early 80s.[/quote
