  I lived on broomhall street next door to Elliots hairdresser and 3 doors from the Albert inn (also Elliots) we lived there from1943 till 1962 when they rehoused us
  We were the Harrisons Pat, Jean, Graham, and Carol,also our cousin Peter goodhead stayed with us, we all went to Springfield school . These photos bring lots of memories back .

  I’m pretty sure the unnamed shopkeeper is Ahmed Yafai. Also may be worth saying that Ahmed = Yafai. Same shop, same owner, I think.
