Hi Guys, The "Stores Pub" was owned by Herbert Topping who was the next door neighbour to my Grandparents in Lismara Terrace.His son Sammy was a Telegram Boy with me during the second World War and who immigrated to Canada in the 50s.

I met up with him when I came back to Canada in 1965, unfortunatley he died a few years later of cancer and in fact I was with him in the hospital when he died.

Yes I remember the sing songs in the back room of the "Stores" as I used to frequent it when I was on leave a couple of times a year while in the "Merchant Nayv" though I preferred the "Corner House lounge". I also remember Davy Jones with his coal brick cart and his voice yelling "Coal Brick, Coal Brick"often wondered who loaded the cart for him???.
