Yes I Remember

A Memory of Selby.

Yes I remember the 'shops' well. I lived on Buller Street and went to Flaxley Road ("Council") School before going on to 'the Grammar School" in 1968.

I remember  the Co-Op on the corner of Kitchener St and Flaxley Road, Wrays on the corner of Buller St and Flaxlely Road, Johnson's Fish shop (and Lesley, we lost touch when I left Selby), 'Indian Joe' the barber, Cumisky's sweet shop, taking the short cut across the green between Powell and Haigh Street before the Gypsy  Moth was built and the fun we had on the site once the builders left for the day.

My grandfather owned the barbers on Flaxley road at number 54, he died in the mid sixties.
Was it him they called Indian Joe ?
I’ve never heard that before. My parents also had the shop that was Wrays on the corner of Buller st. It was a Spar shop under their ownership.
Cicely Cumisky worked for them, her husband was called Joe
