My grandfather (who died before I was born) worked as a storesman in the Coop but I have fond memories of sitting on one of the chairs alongside the pay desk in the co-op while my mother waited for her order to be made up. There was sawdust on the floor and the man who sliced the bacon and ham used to give me a little taste of ham if I was a good girl.
Do you remember Peglers the grocers? It was managed by Mr Edwards from Oak Street. His daughter Lynne was a friend of mine throughout school.
Further down High street was the Penny Bazaar - the little lady that ran it always seemed a very nervous type.
I also remember going to the dress shop on the next corner down (can't remember the name) but I had a grey two piece costume and hat bought for me for Gymanfa - we had new outfits for that every year.
There was also Tom Evans who owned a radio shop in High St. We used to take batteries there to be charged. His daughter, Gwyneth married Brian?? Maliphant and she later became head of Tylorstownn school
