Mr Shepherd's shop at the top of Robinsbridge Road. We used to call in here on the way to or coming out of St Peters School. Always seemed a kindly man, looking back, smiling and patient. I remember sherbet dips bought from there - a yellow tube with a bit of liquorice sticking out to dip into the sherbet - marvellous!
Duncan Saunders; I used to get three-pennyworth of Merry Maids when i went to St Peters primary school. Roderic John Miller; '... and a quarter of pineapple chunks for 3d.'
