Stocks Hill.

A Memory of Moulton.

Known as Stocks Hill, on the left of the photo is the Coop Drapery Shop. At the side of the shop was an alley and the Coop Bakery was there. The house facing in the picture was Ted Witneys car repair yard, along High Street was Keffords shop, Mrs Briton's drapery shop,The White Lion Pub, Mrs Thompson's shop, she used to open Sunday afternoons for us children when we came out of Sunday School. We would go to the shop with our ration books to get our weekly ration of sweets. Then the Working Mens Club - there use to be a concert in the big room nearly every Saturday or Sunday night. People used to bring their own sandwiches and cold yorkshire pudding. Then Adam's Bake House: when the men used to go to the pub, Sunday lunch time, you would see them walking in the street holding a roasting tin with a teatowel over it. They would take it to Adam's bake house and he would cook it for them in the big ovens, and after a couple of pints, they would collect the puddings and take them home.(Yorkshire Pudding) Happy Times, (my name was Cousner).
