Fishmonger at Horwich End and Whaley Bridge Photograph added 26th January 2018
Comment 1 Left by G. Jackson on the 29th January 2018 Mr. Roome wouldn't accept the change of currency when we went decimal. He kept working in 'old money'. About 9 months after we changed over I went to his shop for a couple of kippers..... He wrapped them up and said 'One and tenpence halfpenny'. I was stunned and tried to work out what this had now become....I gave him a 10p coin (that should cover it as it was two shillings)... he then gave me a old penny and an old halfpenny. They were of no use by then so i binned them. he closed soon after that. Comment 2 Left by Jack Tarr on the 31st January 2018 I don't think that this Harold Roome. Mr Roomes fishshop was in Whaley not Horwich End, next door to where Klas dress shop is now Comment 3 Left by R. S-S on the 1st February 2018 Good evening Jack Tarr,
Strange comment as you obviously didn't read the photo title which was: 'Fishmonger at Horwich End and Whaley Bridge'.
The clue in the title is Whaley Bridge.
R. S-S Comment 4 Left by Jack Tarr on the 2nd February 2018 Hello R,S-S,If I remember George Bentley was the fishmonger in Horwich End in a shop near the New Inn, and Harold Roome was the fishmonger down whaley
The kippers were good though.
