Hi my friend opened Humbugs of Greenhill traditional sweet shop back in May, and she is wanting to know the history behind the shop / cottages.

She is situated on Greenhill Main Road, and previously the shop was Calico gift shop. If anyone has any information would be greatful.

Thanks in advance

Hi mummyb74 welcome to the site.

I have just had a look on Google SV to locate this shop I cant seem to find it, Is it in the middle section of Greenhill main rd, there seem to be a number of Hairdressing/Tanning type shops.

Definitely need a map, I don't even know where Greenhill is ! See what 30 years away does to you ...

Do we have a street address please ?
