Thows - Lake Cottage/Tea Rooms

My mother spent many happy times at Pickmere. Thow's tea rooms was owned by her aunt and uncle, John and Annie Thow. As a child she would help out selling ice cream and serving customers. Does anybody remember Thows?

To the sender of the message 'WALL HILL FARM', the picture you refer to looks like the back of the Thow's tea rooms (l have a picture of the front of the property), do you know if this is the same property? The Thows would have sold it in approximately the late 1940s. I would really like to be able to share your memories of Thows with my mother.

RE: RE: Thows - Lake Cottage/Tea Rooms

My late father, Herbert Goulden, always mentioned coming to see his Aunty Annie at an ice cream parlour in Pickmere.  His mother's maiden name was Mary Alman, she lived in Baguley and then Hale.
