Sheffield Road (West side) : Star Pet Supplies to Mower
Star Pet Supplies occupied the gated premises on the upper left of the image, at 165, with E.Shaw's men's hairdressers located next door (163). Shaws had been 'barbering' here from 1941 so would have had many regulars. At 161 was A.N.Mower's family butcher's, a long-established business dating back to 1912. It's simple, part-tiled frontage was typical of the many small family concerns that served local communities for several generations. Customers would be well-known and their likes and dislikes equally recognised.
