Guest coffee cup Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Remember walking past with my friend, we were always too scared to go in, but used to spend a while looking in the window, we always thought the smell that came from the shop was rather strange.

Guest Mick Stanley Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Used to go there in the early 70's when I lived in Rotherham. Used to buy licorice *** papers and josticks from there, usually when I was on my way to some concert or other at the Oval Hall. Happy days.
