My mother had the above sweetshop in Great Bridge. We used to sell one penny bottles of pop to the children who were going to the Palace Cinema on Saturday. The shop was open from 9 a.m. until 10 p.m. and only closed on Christmas Day about 12 noon for us to have our Christmas dinner. We opened again about 6 p.m. for people to collect their ice cream Christmas cakes.
