Yes, John, that’s right. My grandparents owned the house and the shop and had a grocery business there during the war years. When my grandma retired the Coop rented the shop.My earliest memory is that Sandy Hopkinson was in charge, although this might have been on a temporary basis. One of the assistants was Maureen Baumforth. Later, as you say, it was Eric (Dobson) who was the manager and I do remember Rita Morris being there too.
I worked in the Chesterfield tom marsh for 9 years market hall lovely memories of those years
Who was Tom Marsh with the shop Tom Marsh (Provisions) Ltd on Upperthorpe Road.
Wasn’t this shop the old Co-op Manor Branch? Eric Milner was the manager, Rita Morris and Les Drakett were the assistants
