And walk on similarly to reach Barclay Street. All unofficial, of course. note the cobbled streets. For some reason a high-summer wean activity was gouging out the melted tar, from between the setts and adding it to a ball of tar that you enlarged, as the days baked on. I Don:t know why. and you seemed to have to start from scratch every summer. Where did aw the taur baws go? i blame the Taur Fairy...

antrin Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Almost.Sadly, Barr STREET is demolished, here and is now Barr Place.The shops left to right.Alistair's. A dairy but sold all sorts of foodstuffs and sweetiesClaude Hannah, licensed grocers that replaced the chippie.This was the butcher's - Tom Smith's, who retired and sold out to one of his apprentices from Barclay Street -Chic GreenThe final shop on the right replaced the Galbraith's that used to be there. A Similar style of shop, without the backing of a chain.New shops built opposite were the death knell for these small traders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn’t believe in elves, you see. We used to get weedkiller (Sodium Chlorate I think) out of Earls - mixed with same amount of sugar it was lucky we didn’t blow our heads off.
