Alan 2,863 #4 Posted March 12 I can recall a sweet shop in 1950s Greenfield Road called Morts. It was quite close to Geoff Duke's showroom, opposite Bill Jackson's shop and petrol station. My grandma was quite friendly with the owners Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alan 2,863 #6 Posted March 12 The shop on corner of Duke Street and Boundary Road was Skellands. Round the corner, just into Duke Street was Bowleys. Skellands concentrated more on pies, Bowley's on cakes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
