Transcript
"And then down at the end, we had Nosey Keeffe, now Nosey Keeffe did the most beautiful chocolates and boxes of chocolates and cigars. You know 'twas very exotic, the cigars now that people long go when they travelled, they'd bring home but he had all those in stock. And the most beautiful fruit and displays; it was really fabulous. But we used call him Nosey Keeffe because he was nosey. I don't think that was his real name. So at the corner, Nosey Keeffe then when I was a child there used be a woman with a pram selling fish. Now that's gone completely and then across from that there was the fountain. It was Dunscombe fountain."
