DaveN 1,118 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 I wonder if anyone can recall 2 second-hand shops (same owner) that used to be on Mansfield Road between the city and Forest Road in the 60s until ????. One was a single fronted shop whereas the other a double windows one. They were on the west side of Mansfield Road. I think one could have been music shop Dave Mann. Thanks for any input.

mick2me 3,033 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 I do remember the Double windowed one. Around 1971, I bought a silver pocket watch and silver 'double albert' chain for it £1.50 each. Now where the hell have I put that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Was one opposite Huntingdon Street that sold a lot of militaria? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveN 1,118 Posted April 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Yes it was roughly opposite the top of Huntingdon Street, I was talking to a friend this morning and he thought it might have been "Shine's". The name rings a bell but I'm not sure it was the shops in question. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
