A bad doze of nostalgia may get confused by a bad doze of my memory! I lived in Coquetdale Place, 1949-1969. So if we say 1960 and earlier, as you face the shops the left hand group :- 1st. shop I agree with you - Strakers - general dealers. 2nd shop - I think was the Chemists - definately was a chemists as we used to pick Rose-hips and the chemists paid us for them, by weight. 3rd shop - I think was the barber - a DA and anything for the weekend sir. Cant't remember what was next but definately Last Shop was the Co-op Store, cos that's where me mam sent one us every day. Divi Number -no idea - Cigarettes =JC. Right hand group I can't remember the order but can remember a couple of the shops :- Wakenshaw the Butcher - their son Kingsley went to Bedlington Grammar, early 60's. Think Soulsby and Lynn came after Shiropodist - me mam went there. Wools shop but could have been in the left hand group - everything we wore was knitted from there. Even our bathing costumes! Beadnell's the news agent I think was the last shop. Yes he sold everything else but you had to wait whilst he found it. I am sure he once had a couple of motor bikes to sell. Need a cup of tea but will continue thinking, and asking other oldies.
