I wonder if anyone remembers Topliss, 16 Mercer Row? It was there until 1975 when it was taken over by Boyes. It was probably the last shop in Britain to have a "cash railway" for taking customers' payments to the cashier and returning the change. The money travelled in a hollow wooden ball, like a croquet ball cut... [more]

An ancester of mine, Edith Rebecca Henson, lived in Worlaby in the late 1800s/early 1900s in Low Road or Top Road, Worlaby. She lived with the Rusling family as a niece. She married Richard Frank Henson in 1905. They shared the same surname but were they related - maybe cousins? Richard came from Scawby. I would like to hear from anyone... [more]

North Somercotes played a large part in my growing up, I lived with my parents, sister and brother on the Lakeside Lido in St Annes Avenue, next to my friend Cherry Mayfield.

Its revival in the late 18th and early 19th centuries resulted in some fine town building and re-fronting of earlier buildings. Mercer Row is a good example, and the Georgian shop window to the right survives intact. The town is more famous, though, for its superb... [more]

This street scene has not changed very much except for the names of the occupants. The Whyte Swanne of 1612 is still there, and Peacocks have replaced the long-time Louth outfitters of Lawson & Stockdale at No 47(centre). Peacocks also expanded into the Prudential next door. Wilkinson's took over from Fine Fare (right) at the same time as the decorated art... [more]
