Do you know who owned the store? Or family members trying to find an Elizabeth?
Remember Northern Goldsmiths very well for two reasons, bought our wedding and engagement rings from this shop, and a mate of mine Billy Small worked there – Billy sadly no longer with us. Billy was the twin of well known local footballer, Bob Small, both from Pentland Avenue Billingham.
Do you remember The Northern Goldsmiths on the opposite side of the High Street?
My first job was at Collingwoods for 3 pound per week, I started in the early 1960’s and I stayed there for 9 months. It was an old fashioned shop that tried to give the very best service, the Manager was an ex-RAF chap and he was a Gentleman who lived on Mandale road, Acklam, Middlesbrough. I liked the job but the downside was that when the market was on we would get visits from certain folk who would leave us with a louse or two, my Mother had to buy an anti-louse lotion to get rid of them.
