Who remembers Tommy Morgan’s shop on Station Road? It will take a person of a certain age to recall this little wooden shop, which stood isolated and standing itself on a big open plot of land.
During the 1950’s and 60s it was run by Tommy MORGAN and his wife. It was a wooden hut, very basic inside apparently and fondly remembered for selling great sweets and jubilees. It probably did well from having so many houses directly opposite. I thought the location strange, such a small building sitting on a big plot. I don’t have a record of when they ceased trading and there’s no registered deaths for a Thomas Morgan in Blantyre. The shops is shown by a red arrow on this 1950 aerial photo of the village.
