Was David Bowler the building with the big arched asbestos roof right next to the goods yard. I used to rummage through their scrap pile for bits of exhaust pipe. That was back in the eighties, the age of string and chewing gum.  I remember the deli and the fish shop around the corner. My mum was always in there.  

It was, flats on the site now if I recall - just the Friendship and some of the old shops still standing but with new uses.

 

So you'll remember the big BP filling station where McDonalds is and the rather nice cake shop which was in the row of shops next to it.

 

Thinking about it, the David Bowler place may have been vacant at the beginning and taken over by David Bowler - I can remember swinging on ropes in there but it would have to have been empty.
