I remember Janey Dyke she was the aunt of my pal Carol Hurst when we were children. She used to let us help in the shop - changing the window display. She was a lovely person also if the shop was closed and you went around the side of the house she would still serve you. I could cringe now to think she was disturbed when the shop was closed. I also remember going to the cemetery with Carol to her son's grave. She would always get us to do things for her "to save her legs" the last time I saw her was 1968 before I was married.
