There was also a takeaway shop along to the right , just past Thompson’s Sports , but for the life of me I can’t remember it’s name . Marv’s cafe?

Quote Mrs Betty Millar, the Buckstane Fish-Wife (Photograph by Mr W R Smith) Looking back he must have made a reasonable living; I've never thought about it until now, but the one omission from the three shopping precincts at Oxgangs Broadway; the Crescent; and Colinton Mains and indeed also the Store (St Cuthbert's Cooperative) at Oxgangs Road North was a fish shop. Indeed the only rival business, which in reality wasn't, because it was just too far away, was the Newhaven Fishwife, who sold her wares at the corner of Riselaw Crescent to her customers at Buckstone, Greenbank, Comiston, Morningside and the Braids.

If it’s heading back to The Roxy, was it the takeaway opp St Nichs School which was the “Wee Shop”. Marvin’s was the only one I could think of being close to Thompson’s Sports.

The one I’m thinking off was along from the wee shop , (remember Thompson’s used to be at Westfield before heading along towards Smithfield street ) It might be marvins but I was sure that was on the same side as white park in the middle of Gorgie rd Could it have been Marvids ?
