Is that the Ian Roberts who was my best mate in the 70s ? Philip Hannan
By Phil (13/06/2019)
I used to work for Smiths hardware shop on a Saturday and during school holidays. This was in the early 50s. I rode a trade bike which had a pannier on the front and one on the back which when loaded with cans of paraffin became very unruly. I delivered to all sorts of places to get the heating oil to the houses. I bought my first bike off Smiths and Mr Smith let me pay it off out of my very small wage.

I used to work at L. Jones Family Butchers on Saturdays delivering orders in an old fashioned bike with a huge pannier on top of a small front. Ian Roberts credited as the author of this page was a friend whose family had the fish shop at the other end of the parade.
