[teddyboy23]

Any body out there wish to know if I can member what the shops on lordship used to be

[Robert Poste's Child]

That would be really interesting, especially if you have stories about any of the people who ran them too. How about starting at the Goose Green end and listing the ones you remember?

Foxtons before was DHSS and before DHSS was Woolworths.

Shout-out for the jeans shop on the corner of Whately / Cyrena (now a house) and would, with no prompting from customers, ask if you want to look at the porn mags out back - while he 'measured my upper legs' for best jean size/fit.

Didn't become a regular there.

Now we have no Mexican eateries whatsoever. Deplorable state of affairs.

Is Val no longer in Emmerdale? I loved her character.
