Barber
Does anyone else remember the gents hairdressers that was between he now infamous Bob Hill’s and Pinngys fish and chip shop? . I think the barber was call Bill Munt. I remember going there as a child and he used to place a wooden board across the arms of his barbers chair to bring us small ones up to working height. I looking at the site yesterday. I think his shop was the part that sticks out on L/H side of Bob Hill,s.
Can anyone remember what was on the Bob Hill part of the site at the time the barbers was there.
I can picture the door to the Barbers but not what stood in front of it.

I’m surprised it is only us two that remember it leemarb.
I was trying to think back as to when it might have closed. I can remember being taken there as a child in the mid 60’s. and I can recall my dad saying the owner had died . Not sure if it was still open in the very early 70’s.

I used to be forced into Munt's for a cropping from time to time - and I thought there was a motorbike shop on the front of that site even in those days, but I might be wrong.
Pingys chips were lovely - and I'm not wrong about that [:)]
Anyone else remember it?

Munt's for the haircut...plank on the seat for us little ones, and the promise of a bag of chips if we didn't complain.
