Youngs Grocery Store- Tower Bridge Road
Rossi's ice cream was the best. We used to play football or cricket during the holidays in the Webb St school playground. We'd head over to Rossis afterwards for a coke and ice cream or a "99".
Hi Prawny your right that slip road ran behind the trocette and sharp left there was wilds rents leading to Rothsay street or long lane, straight on it ran along the side of cally market then onto bermondsey st
thats right ,, T B R , market and bermondsey market have disapeared ,, the increase in traffic after building the fly over and roundabout at the bricklayers arms might done it,,or maybe life changed ?
danny heard , rings a bell ,did you live near the prefabs in rothsay street?
The best thing about Rossis were the '99s". A milk flake stuck in the middle of a cornet. I think there were two sizes.
I used to love Friday mornings on Tower Bridge Road. All the stalls were out, The Caledonian market was open. Always spotted a few big American cars at the Cali. Waggy Whitnall was selling fresh fish including conger eel. He cut the heads and tails off while you watched. The place was humming.
