 Sandbach, the Sqaure and Crosses c1960 (ref: S489020) |

The Square
I remember Florrie's chip shop, the chips were 6d a bag and were great. The sweet shop next door was called Timmins, and like you said, Mrs Farnsworth's shop was across the road where the betting shop is now. I used to walk through there to go to church school which is now St Mary's church hall. Last edited: 19/11/2008 16:50 by Douglas Coppenhall |

Florries Chip Shop, The Square, Sandbach
Florries Chip Shop - what memories - greasy, white chips, but they were the best! Florrie was always dressed in black - like a Victorian (which she probably was). The shop was situated on the corner of the alley between the square and the back of the Black Bear pub. Next door (probably where the Italian restaurant is now - 2008) was a sweet shop where they would split 10 Woodbines and sell the secondary school kids one at a time and put it into a sherbert bag - can't remember the name though - I bet my sister would (Hazel Tilley). Across the road, opposite the Saxon Crosses (where the Post Office used to be and now there's a betting shop) was Mrs Farnsworth's - three steps up to the shop I seem to remember, and it was very narrow. Wagon Wheels were very popular! Last edited: 19/11/2008 08:40 by Sue Tilley |
