I remember them well, used to garage their wagon right next to St Marys School on Moscow Mill Street, near to Bill Dashes house, It used to stink to high heaven in the Summer

Flynn's Fishmongers was owned by my life-long friend's father, Bill Wilcock. His son Tom, who worked with him, died just a couple of months ago aged 76.
