Indeed there was an 'electrical shop'... first JT Tulley's, later Marshall's Electrical Contractors, the latter was my Dad's business (Ron Marshall). In his time it wasn't really used as a shop, more a store for smaller electrical contracting stuff, although he had an electrical clock in the window that proved very handy for kids on their way down Church Street to Dovecote Street School! He also used a storeroom down the lane from Wellwood Street about 20 yards from the corner shop for bigger stuff that wouldn't fit in the shop (ladders, scaffolding, cable drums etc).
