Thorp Road Sheffield 1979 by Paul Smith

Thanks to Leipzig of the Sheffield Forum for the following

"The corner shop in the picture is No.76 Thorp Road, known as Crossley's shop during the 1960s,
and was located at the junction of Thorp Road and Hill Street. It was owned at that time by an old couple,
and was not the cleanest of shops even in those days. My father was buying something in there one day when
a rat ran along the top of the counter.Why we used to use that shop when
there was a corner shop on most corners at that time I don't know."
