Sharpie Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 45 minutes ago, Maroon Sailor said: What was Blyths all about? - Sale on but still popular by the looks of this I seem to remember it was a moderately priced department store, so their sale prices would be tempting. Somewhere inside me is a feeling that these sale days were a new post war syndrome. But I could be mistaken, although a lot of what were American things were picked up.

Sharpie Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 11 hours ago, Radio Ga Ga said: This two pictures are exactly why I love this thread. They conjure up memories of many years ago when it was all starting. Patrick Thomsons was where my wife to be got her first job in Edinburgh. She was in the cashiers office doing well despite being new to the British monitory system. Pounds shillings and pence instead of dollars nickles and dimes. Grants was a store on different corner. It was the site of a rejuvenation of my now retired after many years father. My mother persuaded him to go to the restaurant for lunch, quite a change for a man who all his married working life despite offers of different food, insisted on having cheese sandwiches for his work meals. He even would accompany Mum to Grants on occasion for a mid morning cup of tea or horrors coffee. Both stores were the base of the start of new lives for three very important people in my life, and without this thread I would probably never have had the opportunity to sit and mull with joy, and sorrow the valuable memories.

Sharpie Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 3 minutes ago, Radio Ga Ga said: Horne Terrace The picture is a bit before my time, but in 1951/52, when working at the Viewforth Garage at Viewforth Terrace I had to carry car exhaust pipes and exhausts to a blacksmiths shop, Kenny McIntosh in Horne Terrace for welding repairs. At the far end of the picture is Viewforth, and there opposite Horne Terrace was a shop we called Aunties, which we Boroughmuir pupils used to go to at lunch time and get a Vantas to drink. There was also a car body repair shop at that end called Robertson and Gray. another wee part/place of Boabs memories, again all pretty happy.

Presume they had gardens originally. They were in fact pretty exclusive before the shops. A certain Dr Robert Knox had a house there behind what is now the drycleaners. https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/murder-houses-edinburgh-new-book-19361440 Edited December 22, 2020 by westbow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
