SEEING the illustration of the sweet shop on Fletcher Street (April 26) brought back very nostalgic memories, as my husband and I started married life there in 1959. My husband's mother and step-father owned the shop.
They were called Frankland and we rented the living accommodation from them at £1-10s a week. On Saturday afternoons there were hordes of children buying sweets off the penny tray to take to the Ritz cinema opposite.
A lady called Fox owned the shop before them and after my mother-in-law died it was sold to Edna Smith (no relation).
