As I remember, the main building in this picture was the Lloyds Bank.  The manager lived above the premises but his name escapes me.  The other shops were Walkers the bakers where we used to buy a bread roll prior to going to school across the road, St.Marys Primary (we would have had our breakfast at home first!!!!).  Then there was the greengrocers, Mrs.Hobbs, I remember that well as I used to deliver the greengroceries on a Saturday morning on one of those awful bikes that we had at the time.  Next was Marshalls the newsagents again a newspaper round for me.  The only other shop I remember here was Joseys the fish and chip shop, a bag of chips for 3d!!  Where has the time gone!!  Martin Green late of Dawson Road.
