This picture was taken inside Nash the Butchers which used to be in Furtherwick Road and shows Tescos on the opposite side of the road. It was taken in the late 1970's and belongs to Rod Bishop whose parents are in the queue on the left.

Would that be Bill and Nora(?) Bishop who ran the vegetable store opposite Chamberlain Avenue?

Hello Annette, yes it is Bill and Nora Bishop out shopping after they retired from their shop.

Thanks Rod, I always remember Bill Bishop used to give me and my sister a grape each whenever my nan went to buy fruit and veg there - we lived across the road in Chamberlain Avenue and I think they knew my nan who shopped there quite often. (I must have been about four or five). When I saw that picture, I remembered them straightaway!
