Looking for the name of a small Bengali-owned grocery shop in Blackpool (around 2001) – memory is a bit hazy!
Hi everyone,
I’m trying to track down the name of a small grocery/corner shop where my mum worked back in 2001 in Blackpool.
Her memory of that time is pretty hazy, so some of these details might not be 100% accurate, but here is what she recalls:
The Area: Likely around Central Drive / Revoe (roughly a 15–20 min walk from her bus stop/town centre).
The Shop: A small independent grocery store run by a Bengali gentleman.
Surroundings:
A mosque within walking distance (we're guessing Blackpool Central Mosque on Revoe St).
A café right next door / adjacent to the shop.
A men's salon / barber directly opposite across the road.
Since it's been over 20 years, some bits of the layout or timing might be slightly off, but if this general setup rings any bells for locals who lived around Central Drive/Revoe in the early 2000s, I’d really appreciate any names you might remember!
Thanks a lot!
