Roxy Wallpaper Hollinwood
A Memory of Oldham.
I was wondering if anyone recalls my grandparents shop; Roxy Wallpaper. It was owned by my paternal great grandparents; Elsie & James John, and after his death in 1972, not long after i was born, it was run by Elsie and her daughter in law Lillian John. Sadly it was compulsory purchased by Manchester City Council to make way for the new M60 motorway in the late 70's / early 80's, (that didn't materialise until the 90's) and was later used as a motorbike shop.
I have vivid memories of the shop in my early years in the 70's, particularly the hoist lift my great grandfather made down to the cellar.
Does anyone have any further memories they could share it would be greatly appreciated.
