StephenFord 866 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 It's nearly 60 years since we moved from Aslockton Drive - I've seen that butcher's name on another thread a year or so ago. His name was Jack - but what the surname was I can't remember. Pinkett's was the newsagent and tuffeh shop, as you say. Remember Bennetts' sweet shop, and Stansby's the chemist. There was a fish-merchant as well. Wasn't Newbold's the off-licence? Not sure... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Pianoman 1,533 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Yes. Newbold's was the off licence Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 The family butcher next to Stansbys was Jack Norris...a big cricket fan. Newboulds was over the road, a double fronted shop.And if there was a fishmongers I'm pretty sure it was in the Co-op. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackson 301 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 The fishmongers on Nuthall Road was the Co-op and what a t'rific display the fishmonger put on: 'A feast for sore eyes' - there's an old saying for you......... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephenFord 866 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 That was it - Jack Norris. Seem to remember my grandma saying that in rationing days, he would put a few bits of un-rationed items (stuff like liver and kidneys I think) aside for favoured customers, of whom she was one !

TGC 216 Posted December 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 There was a Newbolds on Nuthall Road near Bar Lane too. My father was at school with one of the sons. Sons name might have been Gerald but I could quite easily be wrong By gum I remember them too. Wasn't there a lady worked there who made cakes to sell? The jam and lemon curd tarts were out of this world! Mmmm! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TGC 216 Posted December 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Just reading the three little words: 'Pork Dripping Sandwiches' activates my taste buds. Love pork dripping, especially if there's lots of dark brown jelly, a pinch of salt and a scalding hot cup of tea to accompany my sandwiches. Last ate pork dripping about 2 months ago; verdict?: SUMPTIOUS, food fit for the Gods...........(must have used half a loaf, t'was so delicious couldn't stop spreading - pssssssssssssssssst: what's cholesterol?) PS: secret is to serve the pork dripping on fresh, white bread that has a crisp crust. Spot on! Heaven! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pixie 162 Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I remember when mum used to do a roast when i was a kid, we used to dip bread in the dripping! Iv not had that in years! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

katyjay 5,091 Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 i always preferred dripping on hot toast. then it really is 'dripping'. a bit of marmite smeared on it went down a treat. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mercurydancer 1,104 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 I recall getting dripping from a shop in Radford Road opposite the Old General. They also did bread and dripping free for the customers in the Clock on a Sunday! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hope this was around 1970ish? If so, I was that fishmonger - I love working at that shop, hard work getting set up each day, a 0600hr start was needed, I even used to open on a Sunday morning. Ah, happy memories... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Pork dripping, well salted on toast! And when skint - lard with salt and pepper. One thing i miss about Notty is the 'Potted Meat'. can't get it here at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
