![]() Newsagent
At the time Redfield became part of Bristol (1897), Mr. Henry George Pople established his newsagents shop. This was at 127 Redfield Road, before this stretch became part of Church Road.
Dave Cheesley recalls: 'The only shop in Redfield in the 1960s where you could buy penny ice-lollies. On hot summer evenings playing at Moorfields Park we would run around to Poples to buy them. This was a time when most ice-lollies were 3d or 4d so a penny made our pocket money go that much further. If we did have 4d then we would have probably bought a Jubbly or Calypso. These were large triangular shaped lumps of flavoured ice, sold in colourful cardboard wrappers.' |
