hello pedro1,

the shop where the bookies is now was a co-op butchers and after that in 1984 it was a fruit and veg shop

I can`t remember the bookies being a fruit and veg. The shop that is now a second hand shop next to the GT used to be a fruit and veg. I had my first saturday job there after leaving my paper round in the newsagents next door.

Talking of newspaper rounds, did anyone have one and how much were they paid? I worked 7 days a week and my star round at night was about 70 papers. I got £5 a week

My partner knew the young girl who lived above the butchers years ago.

Mr Pilling the Chemist.

 

Now, I remember from the 1980s a chain of chemists called Firth and Pilling. Was he the Pilling?

I'm doing a study of particular areas in Sheffield and was wondering How long have the shops been on Hartley Brook road, in Particular the Post Office.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks
