Second-hand shop on Mansfield Road.


Recommended Posts

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.

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?

Used to drink with Dave Mann, mid 60's. Fine chap.

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.
