Breckfield Road South

Used to go to that hairdresser even when it was round the corner in a small shop, the name of the proprietor was Joseph Grybz I thought he was Polish. I worked in 42 46 Breckfield road north.

We used to live at 23 Breckfield Road North (facing the Hole in the Wall pub), an end double-fronted terraced house near the public toilets. I remember my grandmother taking me to the sweet shop shown here. A lot of great memories for me. Well done for putting this site up. There were some really great houses along Breckfield Road South.

I remember Profits sweet shop next to the barbers on one side and Howards greengrocers on the other. I also recall Dots sweet shop which was on the corner of Gilfillan St. She sold penny Vantas drinks from a round glass container on the counter.

Breckfield Road South in 1968. Peter Thomas Rooney recalls: 'The photo above shows the end of the road where it met Breck Road. The barbers shown behind the Midland Bank was run by an Italian who had been a POW. His business was originally around the corner on Breck Road but absorbed into the pub, The Royal, when it was expanded c.1962'.
