Mrs Dowse
A Memory of Grangetown.
My nan Mrs Laura Dowse had a lodging house 4 Beauchamp Street Riverside, for many many years I was born there in 1967. Many a celebrity from the New Theatre lodged at my nans and the Speedway drivers used to stay there too, my nan was very well known in Riverside and Grangetown a well respected business women. Hughie Green, Max Bygraves and many a famous name stayed there, nan was a legend, fantastic parties she really was a great hostess who would only serve the best quality, how times have changed. I remember House of Holland on the crossroads, Billys the grocers and Nick the general store and the local butchers all relying on my nans business, even the local fish and chip shop would fry up early for her on a Friday, the lodgers always had battered fish on a Friday and if it wasn't good enough she would send it back!!!
