[G12Ravda 10]

Don't know why but as a kid i always remembered Kutters Korner on Attercliffe, i can't remember what they sold though? I think i just liked the name of the shop!

Kutters Korner rings a distant bell, but like you, I don't know anything

about the shop.

We'll need help from another member.

Pierrepoints, (I hope that's the right spelling) was one of my favourite shops.

It was the big, open fruit stall, opposite Rossington's Bazaar.

I bet you remember that.

Oh yeah, the shop front is still there! Now covered up with some advertising hoarding

 

If anyone's interested, watch Andy's video series on the cliffe as a kid, really good!
