Only remember Abby from Cedardale Stores but remember him fondly. Remember a shop by the Rec called Youngs which was tiny and used to sell home made ice lies for I think 1p !!
Remember the odd freight train on the Seven Sisters and Jacobs tunnel. Lamplight rings a bell, can remember the signage but that's about it. There was a hairdressers next to Abby's that used to have those dome hairdryers. There was a shop by the Queen Anne called Nimmo's (later owned by Teers) if that is Mimmo's?
Idle House??? Guessing you may mean the Robert's house? Similar one on Stalmine. Also remember the tennis courts on the Rec and the school. The Cabin shop opposite what was then Preston Road Station.

Remember Charlie's chippy? Throttles Nest? Soap Works? Not sure about Stan, kind of sounds familiar but no idea why!

Oh and a little television shop that was kind of opposite the Queen Anne just before the alleyway to the new flats behind the library. That's a really old memory, think it had a Pye logo on it.
