Memories of Ashley Road's Motorcycle Shops.
Shared By - Ron Pier At 222 Ashley Road in 1963/4 was a tobacconist with café attached. I guess that would have been the Gould's. The wife always referred to her husband as "The Guv" so to us (Me, Graham, Chris and Colin) it was always Guv's café. We'd be in there most Saturday afternoons after visiting Huxham's and waiting on the doorstep at 9 on Sunday mornings. Fond memories indeed.
