Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

The butchers shop indeed was Simisters, it was run and owned by Bob Simister, a good friend of my dad. Bob on retiring from being a butcher ran a taxi service from his home on Irby Road, I used him frequently when I was home on leave from the army to run me to Lime Street. There was also a fruit and veg shop called Millwards in the village and Miss Thompson had the haberdashery where if I recall correctly you could get spare parts for your bicycle also.

Yes I remember The Simisters.  Didn't the son, Michael I think, get killed on his motorbike coming the one-way part of Mill Hill the wrong way?
