According to Dad it was 'Little Shakespeare Street'. It was my Nan's local shop this picture was sent to my Dad when he was serving in Cyprus, so was rather well travelled.
One of the ladies in the picture who sent it, was a 'Miss Stott'.

thankyou Bez.....used to have such fun looking in the hospital window at them working on the dolls...even got to go in from time to time and lend a little hand so to speak....they'd let me choose hair for the dolls.
