Sweetshop across the road from the Paragon Cinema, Firth Park.

Does anyone remember the sweet shop across the road from the Paragon Cinema at Firth Park? The Paragon of course is long gone! I seem to remember that at one time it was called 'Hibberts'? Also a name in my mind is 'Dainties' or was it just the Paragon Sweet shop? I may be getting confused with the 'Paragon Chip shop' which was just a few doors away!!!!

A bag of chips ,with scraps, was a bit of a treat from the Paragon fish and chip shop after a night at the flicks. The guy who ran the shop ,I seem to remember he had a dark moustache was smart and always wore an immaculately clean white overall. The sweet shop, I am pretty certain ,was Hibbert's and I think Dainties was the brand name for a sweet. Firth Park in the 1950's had 4 or 5 chip shops with Cotterill's being one I especially remember after receiving a battered blue bottle  in a threepenny bag!
