Edave51 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Possibly Wallers. Newspaper and sweet shop. I "marked up" newspapers early mornings in the early 60's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of the late '60's I am sure it was just a sweet shop.The name Wallers doesn't ring a bell.Looks like a trip to the Archives... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morts Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Wasn't Wallers the newsagent in Crosspool at the bottom of Lydgate Lane. Did a Sunday paper round there in the 60's. They dropped the bag off on Sandygate Road near the golf club. Everyone round there had at least two papers-The Sunday Times and one other. The bag weighed a ton and probably wouldn't be allowed these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillsbro Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Wasn't Wallers the newsagent in Crosspool at the bottom of Lydgate Lane...A 1960s directory shows "J.V. Waller, newsagent" at 340 Lydgate Lane (corner of Manchester Road - it's now "Motor World").. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edave51 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Probably the same owner as the Nether Green shop. He also owned a little shack behind Fulwood Church close to the War Memorial (Canterbury Avenue). Stocked cigarettes, sweets, and was a distribution outlet for The Star.

In my years there was a shop next door the sold plants, my parants bought flowers from there. Talking of Fulwood Church i went their in the late 40s/50s for morning service and wonderful memories. hihi. :hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oingo Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Ahh the newsagent on Lydgate Lane (now Motor Word). I remember going in there in the early 80s, buying chocolate shape tools and pannini stickers before GT News moved to its current location. Happy days!

The guy who ran the newsagent was a tennis fan and always had the second week of Wimbledon off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
