Does anyone remember a Hardware shop right on the top corner of Tonning Street , the man who owned it , I was frightened by him, dont know why, though he did look strange and I was only about ten then.

i always remember a little grocery shop down whapload road, when i was an apprentice at Lec marine maybe 20 years ago or so, (i know its not THAT long ago)... it would have been across the road from denes 4 of Birds Eye, but i always got the impression it had been there a long time. Was run by a very lovely couple of later years at the time. I always try to remember where it actually was, it looked  like am old house that had a room at front that had been converted into a shop.

The one that I can remember was at the bottom of Herring Fishery Score [ Christ Church Score] it was run by a Mr Boothroyd.

My wife tells me she always knew that shop as Arthur's (surname could have been Gibb) he always let her and her workmates buy ciggies on tick until payday. I believe the building is pulled down now and new houses are built on the plot.

I remember that shop.It was there in the early 90's as it was one place I could find Aniseed balls when we came back to Lowestoft.

Can anybody remember the two shops at the Elm Tree Road crossroads in Long Road  - Mondays was a grocers run by the Monday family (2 daughters I believe) and Greengrass's which was pretty much the same only much smaller and grubbier. I think it was a chip shop first, then a grocers and then back to a chip shop again. There were two brothers who lived there and went to Pakefield Primary, one was William but I can't remember his older brother's name - might have been Rodger.
