  Every picture tells a story......As a young lad I helped deliver beer and minerals around this town in the fifties. Ger's Coffee Shop was known as Minni Allens's Foodstore then. I was once crossing the street with a wooden crate of empty bottles near where the Garda is standing in this picture. The arse fell out of the crate and much to the amusement of the passers by, nearly three dozen of bottles rolled all the way down the street. Took me ages to pick them all up again lol.

  corncrake68 You'd probably have had more help if they hadn't been empty! Would you please mind adding a note on the photo at Ger's Coffee Shop to say it used be Minni Allens? And were any of the other businesses in the older Belturbet shot still on the go in the 50s - Devines, etc.?
