Re: Newsagents?????
The old boy was called Ronny Hogan. His Aunt, Sally Hogan, ran the shop & she must have been in her 80's when the shop was relocated to Maden Street about 1980. Ronny wore the same long, dirty brown mac for all the years that I remember him, from the 1960's onwards, irrespective of snow, hail or sunshine. Nevertheless, he was always there delivering the papers. I was once told a story that he was a sargeant in WW2 & got a nasty case of shell shock at El Alemain from which he never fully recovered, which although I don't know how true it is, probably explains alot. His aunt retired to Southport, I think, and he followed her.
