We were on the same side of the street but in the top half. There was a Mrs Hirst who had a dog called Peggy. She never knocked but would walk in shouting 'it's only me'. Alderson, Dawson and Shorrocks are the names that I can recall.

My Gran and grandad used to have the shop in Holland St in the 30's and 40's they were called Claude and Lillian Standring.
