Edwin Gowers and son. Grocers.

[abbeyedges 83]

There was a Gowers on Lowedges, the Magpie set of shops. Not sure if there was a branch at the terminus end of the estate.

 

Going off subject slightly - my memory of those shops were, Coop plus Coop butchers, Ditchfields, Gowers, Jacksons, Library (there until Greenhill library opened), Bennetts, Stringfellows (?), Chemists.

Did any of you shop or work at Gowers? Mi Aunty Lily used to shop at the shop on Rural Lane on occasion

 

She might well have served me then in the 60's. Living in Wadsley village I was a regular in there....'ont pond' (why was it called 'pond')

 

Beeches shop, Fred Hurst Barbers too

Cannot remember the Co-op wallpaper shop. Jacksons started to grow and grow. Did they eventually take over that shop?

[DumDom 19]

No, it was where the dentist now is.

I lived in Woodhouse Rd, Intake in the early 50's. There must have been a Gowers somewhere near the junction with Mansfield Rd as one of my mum's favorite stories concerned my sister creating chaos by pulling out one of the lower tins from a pyramid of tins.

[Mags 12]

There was a Gowers grocers on the junction of Crooksmoor Rd and Barber Road.

Further up Barber Road closer to Burns Road was another grocers called Shentalls does anyone know if they had branches elsewhere or was this their only shop?
