She also tells me that Len's cooked meats, later in the Market Hall, started in one of the shops on that block. There was a dress shop of some kind in Ormerod Street, just down from Higher Antley.
I was also reminded of a toffee shop on the corner of Higher Antley and Major Street which had a fabulous penny tray 
More memories - I wonder if there are any photos of the police box which stood on Ormerod Street/Higher Antley, outside the grocers shop? I remember it coming second one night in a fight with a car. |
When was the police box on Ormerod Street removed I have a vague recollection of it being there probably in the mid 60's however I could be mistaken
I went to the Barbers I think on Higher Antley Street as a child but it wasn't on the corner it 4 or 5 properties away from Ormerod Street with a large red leather chair.
In the mid late 70's I sold the newspapers for the first week of Accy holidays as at that time only newsagents were permitted to sell newspapers. it was my first paid employment
how times have changed
