I know Nuttall Street quite well.....it was not far from there that I spent my formative years.
We used to go to Harry Booths butchers, and of course the Co-op grocer and greengrocers.... Mc Cartneys selling out shop,Bob Wilkinsons ironmongers shop as well, but strangely I cannot remember a chemists being along there.
All that area I'm referring to was facing towards the bottom of South St, on the last bit before you get to Wellington St. There was a French Polishers shop on there as well as Dicky Scent. What you are refering to was further up, the Co-op was on the corner with Edmund St. Thorpes Greengrocery was 1/2 way along the left hand side, next to joiners shop, between Royds St, and Edmund St.
