BOBHAMO an old fellar used to come every week and for 1/2lb nails nothing else and he told us he was a descendent from the Ashcrofts he'd tell us tales of when the company were starting off I wish now I'd taken notice of him instead of trying to get shut.
BOB.B you'll remember DODD'S photography on Stanley Rd well he used to come in and said he had a new camera that he didn't want and was I interested in buying it which I did. I didn't use it much and it go stuck away after a few weeks never to be used again although I still have it after 50 years. I took up photography again about 1988 and stopped in 1996.
I worked in the front shops so didn't see many in the plumbers dept. Terry a driver for Cothliffs? and Len Hinton the joiner from Gray St were two of the most liked customers throughout the wholeplace.
