Pet Shop

A Memory of Crosby.

Hi, I remember the pet shop but not the name of it. It was in Fir Road I think. I bought all my first animals from there, tortoise mice, rabbits and hamsters!

It was Brough's Pet Shop.
We bought our first rabbit and guinea pig there. The guinea pig was Pip, and the rabbit Bobtail. I can remember it weeing all over me as we took it in a basket to the car.
It was owned by my parents friend George Antrobus. He used to take a lot of the animals home to the newsagent they also owned in Bootle near the docks over the weekends. He kept in Bootle a grey parrot which someone had bought but never collected.He ‘showed’ his Alsatian Dogs and they won prizes.
