I can see that little cottage now Linda, the cottage was to the right facing towards Cotton St with a garden in front of it and wrought iron railing on a low wall. Or am I dreaming?

The only butchers shop I remember in Welly Bob St, was Kemp & Murrays on the corner with Nuttall St, diagonaly opposite Littlefairs.
The premises is still there, but has had several occupants since 1966, the rest of Welly St, from Nuttall St to the top of Church St didn't have any shops, the frontage's didn't lend themselves to such enterprises, they were very much like those from the Pop Club to Church St, before they were demolished.
