I did ask her about the boy from the tripe shop, Alan Crawshaw, she said he was a 'bonny lad', but didn't know him well because he was older than her. Sorry.

I'm afraid being born in 1965 means I can't go way back.
I do know that what's now my brother's shop, and before that my dad's, and granddad's, who bought it in 1945, used to be Sam Boot's bakery, and before he aquired just before the Great War it had been a chip shop.
