I also went to St Joseph’s in Gun Street 1950/60s
Samuels Sores is where we spent our Pocket Money, we also purchased cheese Rolls for Breakfast when we had Church-and Communion at School on a Wednesday Morning, my Mum also purchased shopping from the shop especially The broken Biscuits which were sold by the
Pound, I preferred the Pickled Cucumbers which you could buy seperate and the size depended on how much you had to spend, 3d, 6d etc.
Jack and Hettie Samuels we’re very Nice People,

My grandparents were the Samuels family who owned the shop from 1890.
My mother was born over the shop in 1897.

This picture is at the corner of Gun Street E1. My parents had their wedding photos taken at that spot in 1945. The building to the right is part of the Providence Row refuge which went all around the corner to Crispin Street. My father was caretaker or handyman there and we lived in a flat at the top which we accessed by the door you can see in the picture. I believe most of the building has been pulled down but they have left part of the facade, which didn’t include the Gun Street entrance, so I was thrilled to see the picture of the entrance which I remember from a child!
