  1. Have just joined this website. We lived next door to Farrands Grocers (opposite the Methodist church on the corner of Aspley Lane and Melbourne Rd). Is this the one you mean ? I worked as a delivery lad (with a bike) for a while and remember weighing out the sugar into little blue bags and cutting butter up into small rectangles. Another memory is of the rows of slanting biscuit boxes in front to the counter - to the left as you went in.
  2. Just a pre-war baby, I spent the first 11 years on Charlebury Road, Radford, then to Aspley Lane where my parents had a haberdashery shop, next to Farrands Grocers and opposite the Methodist Church. Attended Middleton Junior School, Cottesmore (for 1 year), then High Pavement Grammar School. Have not been back for many years and lost touch with most school friends. Nostalgia has caught up with me though and have just come across this web site which looks intriguing.
