Also know locally as just “The Corner Store” it was probably twice if not 3 times the size of “Scott’s” Another store from the past “Glenn’s” was located at the bottom of Lovel road, it faced out towards the green with the clock. It then opened to a Chinese takeaway.

It's a free country, adopt whatever PC stance you want. Just don't tell me which stance I should take just because it clashes with your opinion. |

I remember it being there although I cannot remember ever going in. Back in the day, before the rise of the huge supermarket chains, little grocery shops like that existed, anyone remember Heath's stores on the corner of Lansdown Road & Nicol Road?
I was in contact with the eldest son, John, not too long back, we went to the same school.

Hi everyone!
not sure if anyone mentioned it earlier in this post, but is there anyone who has any memory of Scotts store in Glebe road? I'd be interested in knowing more about this place...what did they sell? It must be a very old store given there's a mention of a store in Glebe rd since the 30s! When did they close? Anybody has any picture of how it looked or can share a scan of a directory from the 50s-60s? Thanks a million :-) |

Sorry to hear about the passing of Keith, I remember the days when his father ran the shop, both father & son produced great fish 'n' chips, thinking of it makes me feel hungry!

I am so sorry to hear your sad news, I have very fond memories of using the fish & chip shop when Keith ran it, lots of banter with him when we were spotty teenagers, another fine character has left us.
