The railway embankment was still there and one of the three blocks of flats on Worsley Mesnes North.
A couple of cracking pics Catherine.
Would that be a Holland's van on the left delivering to the chip shop?
You're right!
I'm sorry, I don't remember, but John says that would be the chippy with the Hollands van outside, then, going further to the left, the post office, a couple of houses, then the newsagent and then the Bold on the corner of Clifton Street.
Has anyone got a picture of Mr and Mrs Pugh's shop?
Was Mrs Pugh the lady who had the post office or the grocers on the corner of Poolstock Lane and Snowden Ave?
I'm trying to remember the name of the people who had the off licence. It'll come to me.
The Bateman's had the chip shop until about 1956.
slaters had the off license, followed by causeys
Great pic, my Mum used to have the chip shop opposite kays, Her and her 2 sisters used to run it, they were Kathleen, Mary and Joan .
keith and sheila henry, my in laws, used to own the newsagents up until 2003. pughs is what now is the bookies.
My mum used to work in the chip shop. Would have been early 60's.
We lived in Clifton street. Great to see these old photo's.
Curious as to who owns the old newsagents now it would make a lovely small business ,I used to go there for sweets on the way home from school it must of been empty a good few years now
