Short back and sides Sir.

Gloziers shop in the high Street opposite the Greyhound pub.  Did we loose another historic building when this old house was demolished and replaced by the estate agents.  Now we have destroyed the old chapel just around the corner,  will we ever learn?

 I only had a haircut once but the sweet shop was the first stop after every school-day. Great memories.  Philbra.


Remember Tilf' Glozier's shop very well (opposite to my Grandparents butchers shop - (Claude 'Tom' King). Glozier's shop used to have a couple of chewing gum machines on the outside wall which were 3d a go. ! had my hair cut there a few times - Tilf used to employ another old boy Cecil to do the haircutting in a front room off the side of the shop - Cecil always had a fag on the go (wouldn't be allowed these days ) . I might be doing him an injustice but it seemed he could only do 'short back and sides' !!! Peter R

My sentiments  entirely John S. Admin.
