Phil. Thanks for the Pictures, Phil. Some of these I know, and have walked by them numerous times in years gone by.As I infered before, they were not just shops, they were often social meeting places for the locals. People often kept alegiance to one particular shop, for their weekly shopping, etc. Malc.
Oh my gosh, is what I just said out loud on seeing the photo of Mary Street School, I have never seen the picture before but intend to print it up. Wonderful, thankyou. I must have walked through that entrance a few times I can tell you when I was 5 and 6 yrs old.!! My Mother used to walk me to the school, just 4 or 5 houses away. A teacher used to see us and used to ask me "Did Peter hit you yesterday" and I would say "Yes", so I am afraid whoever Peter was, he was in trouble.!!! Thankyou Phil, enjoying just looking at it!
