Shops that were like this...Blowers in Church St, The co-op branches.......and Veevers...though if I remember rightly it seemed a more up market grocery store....not one that we frequented......though I did go in once or twice with my gran to buy Gold Dish Jaffa Juice.

I only remember the butchers with sawdust on the floor but not the grocers.
I remember the name Blowers but can't think where it was... Veevers in Peel Street was definitely up market - and I remember when Jaffa Juice first came out - didn't taste much different from clinic orange juice!
My mum went to a small grocers run by a nice man called Joinson on Whalley Road in the block before the Hope & Anchor pub. There was a long counter with chairs to sit at and mum used to write her order in a notebook for delivery at home.
