      I am new to this. Obvious isn't it. Does the question I sent to you go out to the rest of the people in the forum. Having read through the different comments etc. I noticed that only Marsdens and the hardware store are mentioned. What about the off-licence, I think it was the Elsons there? Marlow, the greengrocers. Jean Hipkin was the hairdresser. Handley was the chemist. Parsons were the newsagents. And i think the last shop was a haberdashers. I can't remember the shop next to the off-licence ever being occupied when i lived on the estate.
