Northfield Road, Crookes

Image: © Dave Hitchborne Taken: 26 Aug 2008

A block of three former shops and the former St Luke's Methodist Church. The former sweet shop, on the corner of Northfield Road, was Thomas V Meeson - Confectioner. "Pop", as he was known, seemed to care more for his cats than his customers. They could always be seen sleeping on top of the sweet jars, in the window, or on top of the fridge and the place absolutely stank of cat wee. It appears that the ground floor, which had been converted into flats, has suffered a fire.
