Soda siphons and the Co-op youth club

I was born and bought up in Charlton Road and remember the lower end of Hawthorn Road where the Co-op was divided into a number of different shops. Food, clothing (Where we got our Great Barr school badge and tie from- I think??), and the haberdashers where my god mother Jean Cashmore worked. Above it all was the Co-op youth club where my sister went to- I was too young to go. Further down was the Lady Bird childrens clothes shop owned by my mom’s German friend Gurder. There was the hairdressers- Richardo from Milano, a launderette and at the end was the ‘Outdoor’ where we used to go to get our dads soda siphon refilled for his whiskey. This shop later became a joke shop
