We are referring to the chemist shop in the forties & fifties before any Wade Avenue & Princess Avenue existed, it was the original Garbutt Street area.
The shop mentioned in the previous comment belonged to Peacock’s fruit & veg business long before Julie’s Pantry or Annie Harris’s ownership. Annie Harris originally had a shop on the corner of Garbutt & Emmanuel Street, with the help of her daughter, Thelma, she ran a very successful business. Annie would often let customers buy groceries ‘on tick’ until pay day came around. Thelma lived with her husband Robbie Cockcroft above the shop, Annie lived with her other daughter, Margery, further down Garbutt Street. Sadly all of the aforementioned passed away some years ago.
Going to disagree on this one, the shop at this point was ‘Julie’s Pantry’, she took it over from her Mam and Dad (Joyce’s Pantry) and before that it was Annie Harris’s… Peacocks must have come later.
This is the chemist shop which used to be Salmons or Middlemass which has been discussed elsewhere on the site & the shops which were the pet shop & fruit & veg shop.
From left to right:-Dr Websters surgery(Dr.M orrell)also practised here before going up to Roseworth estate). Next Fred Hall”s pet shop, then Salmond”s the chemists,finally Peacock,s fruit& veg. shop. Up the steps(see white portal next to chemists my school mate Gary Nimmo lived.
“Up the steps” Gary Nimmo my brother and mother, and my grandmother, a dressmaker used to live in the property at the side of this chemist in the 1950’s. To the other side of the chemists was a pet shop that used to have a chimpanzee in a cage.
