We lived in Lower Gordon Road..... I used to be sent to get my Mother's shopping here. I remember the post office - the lovely cluttery feel... the sweets. The first savings book and the first of my many collections. The tea cards.. which I adored. I remember feeling so grown up being sent to get the shopping. But they would deliver. I was away at School. I remember taking my next two sisters one by one over to the shop to buy a penny worth of sweets..... oh yes first memeories of a shop .
