: Hi Bill,
:
: I was told that Wheels (could be
: Weighells)had the sweet shop during
: the war then moved to a fish shop I
: think on the end of Post Office
: Square.
:
: Apparently as sweets were rationed
: during the war it was a stick of
: liquorice (the woody variety) and an
: Oxo cube - a halfpenny each - to
: munch on while enjoying the film!!

: Dear All, I know you're out there -
: can't ANYONE tell me the name of the
: little sweet shop which used to
: stand just outside the Ranch, and
: which sold such fine things as
: Bassett's sherbet licorice (a
: halfpenny a triangular bag), and
: (for the very rich) bars of Aero
: milk chocolate ?
:
: 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
:
:
: Dear Lyn,
: I should also have said that the
: Wheels
: fish shop (fish and a pennorth,
: please) was there all through (and
: before) the War, as was the old
: sweet shop. And there were
: another two fish shops in what I
: later learned was called Post Office
: Square.: Cheers again, Bill
