Sheffield Road (East side) : BBCS (butchers) to Revell (footwear)
The BBCS butchers operated from this relatively small shop from 1955 to 1967, serving local people as well as passing trade. A confectioner, J.C.Howard was next door, at 140, for an even longer spell, from 1927 to 1966; and Martins (cleaners) and Gees Diary occupied 142-144, from 1952 and 1935 respectively. The shoe shop known as J.W. Revill also functioned for many years from 1936 to 1967. These small family busineses had survived hard times over several generations, serving the local community, almost certainly knowing many of the families by name.
