My Uncle Alfie had a shoe repair shop in Roden Street, pretty far down from the Donegall Road on the right hand side of Roden Street and I think if I look thru me old fotos there might be one of him in his wee shop. I still remember the smell of the "solution" they used to glue on the heels and soles of the shoes. Uncle Alfie passed on some years ago now but I often wonder what Roden Street is like - might have to check it out on Google maps street view.

I remember a shop on Roden St where my Granda took me to get sweets on the way to Windsor, "Castles" I think was the name.
I remember a news item one time where twins died on the same day although miles apart, I think one of them died in a fishing accident, as far as I remember they were the shop owners sons.
