Ironmongers On The High Street

A Memory of Gosforth.

Does anyone remember the name of the ironmomger shop on the High Street ?
During the war we did not have electricity in Beaumont Terrace and our Wireless was run from an accumulator (later called a battery) that I used to carry up to the shop to exchange and pick up gas mantles. Just cannot remember the name of the shop
But I do remember the smiles of the staff and their legpulling of we" wee" ones about being careful carrying the charged accumulators home, to keep us up to date with the war.

There were two iron mongers. The biggest was Thorpes on the East side of the High Street still trading under new management (2017) and the smaller one was Laidlaws on the opposite side of the street.
