Corner shop Slinn St

[Alien52 10]

Can anyone remember the name of the shop on the corner of Slinn St and Heavygate Rd in the 60s and 70s ?

The 1968 and 1973 directories show "Couldwell & Sons, grocers" at 135 Heavygate Road, on the corner of Slinn Street. It was evidently an old-established family business - the 1942 directory shows "Mrs Theresa Couldwell, grocer" at that address.

Nigel and Margret Cauldwell were running it In the 50's . They had 2 boxers in the back yard used to hang there heads over the gate waiting for us to go by on our way home from School :-)

As a butchers boy in the early 60's i remeber delivering meat to their shop and hoping i would be offered a dip in one of the jars for a sweet lolly.

I remember in the Caroline Cauldwell in the late 60's. She used to go to St Tim's Girl Guides. I have to chuckle because I remember now the Boxer dogs too!
