Re: Shops in Peel Street
Mr Loofe had a workshop in Back Owen St, alongside the ralway line between Whalley Rd and Marlborough rd. When I was a young un, I was standing by a brazier near there when my overcoat became singed. I started to cry, knowing what my dad would do to me. Mr loofe saw me and had obne of his staff give it an invisible repair. My dad made me go into his shop a few days after and thank him. I was probably standing by the fire in the company of my mate Ken Sagar, whose parents had a bread shop in Owen St, or Margaret Booth, perhaps my first girl friend, whose parents had a bread shop in Marlborough rd.
