garypeacock   10 #8 Posted October 1, 2012 yes he started his business from here, was the guy your reffering too have a surname of Hukin?  I think you maybe wrong here.  His first shop was on Wharncliffe st in Rotherham in the late 60's early 70's. I may have been his first employee as I tidied up his yard as a nine year old lad.  The shop was just up from where the outside market was built.

Janus   28 #10 Posted October 2, 2012 yes he started his business from here, was the guy your reffering too have a surname of Hukin?  No, it was a much longer name. It perhaps looked similar to the bottom line on an optician`s eye chart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
