I remember when every street had a corner shop. Our nearest was Freds Shop on the corner of Pansy and Eccles Street. He had a great penny tray. For a real treat we would be taken to the Mount shop, where Cartridge World is now, and could choose a quarter of something and you had to pass the jars of sweets over to the old dear behind the counter as they were arranged all over the shop.
Did anyone else play on their trollies round the back of Woolworths on the steep slope there?
