I grew up in sneinton in the 70's & 80's leaving in 1997. I can remember Frank Shaw's the shoe shop, Freeston's butchers and there was also a Spar shop on the corner of Ena Avenue. Polly Perkins is still there! Well was last visit this year. Georgios chippy is also still there. There was a " purple" shop, past Rossington Rd we used to call the "tuffy" shop, sold all the sweets in jars and chocolate behind the glass counters, was a special treat on a Sunday to go and spend 20p there!! Loads have changed now, certainly different going back to visit. Such a shame.
