When I was young the corner shop was a pie shop, next a sweet shop, then an Ironmongers, following on a grocers, a narrow ginnel to get to the back of the shops, after the ginnel, Coop shoes then grocers, outfitters, butchers. Canal St was great to sledge down in Winter you could go right down to the bottom but had to be careful that you didn't finish up in the canal.
