I remember that selling out shop to belong to Mc Cartneys. The daughter of the owners was called Janet Mc Cartney and went to Woodnook school.
The selling out shop was opposite to a pub......which if my memory serves me rightly, was called The Star(I am happy to be corrected if anyone knows differently) I am talking about the late fifties and early sixties here.

Oh and the butchers which was across from the other off licence on Nuttall street was Harry Booths.
