The only barber shop I remember was in a house garage down All Saints road opposite Stocktonwood school playing fields. as a boy I had to go there and wait for hours for my haircut. This must have been in the late 40s. a good while later a barber shop opened at the shops at the bottom of Western Ave. this was before the Pegasus pub was built and Butlers tea bar was there serving the bus drivers and conductors. this was the bus terminal then.
the first barbers was certainly in all Saints Rd. in Mr Jones garage,He was the caretaker at Stocktonwood rd school
I think it was his son who was the barber.Carl Mainey lived next door in no. 28. nice to hear colin pattison is still around. also there was a barbers on the Crescent.
