Shared Memories of Mickleover

  Year: 1965 Mickleover Village 1955 New Added 6 days ago
In the photo of Mickleover Village 1955, things still hadn't changed by 1965 when my mum used to walk us to the village most days to buy food. I remember there was a shop keeper regularly standing in the doorway on the right of the photo. The shop to the left of that, with the bike outside was the Co op, which was the biggest food store in Mickleover back then - way before Hillards arrived (now Tesco's I think). Close by everyone will remember Oliver & Winspears Sweet Shop, where we all bought our milk chews, fruit salad chews and butterscotch after school.
