Dear Lyn, It could have been "Wheels", but I don't recall the (usually crowded) shop having that name. On the other hand there was a fish shop called "Wheels" (perhaps spelled "Weighells")just on the opposite side of the road from P.Rea's ice-cream shop - delicious ice-cream, at a halfpenny for half a cupful. Oh, happy daus. Were you thinking of that ? In any case, many thanks for the reply. Bill
