This hairdressers if I remember rightly stood next to the Station Hotel, can you remember it?
David Welford tells us: ” I seem to remember in the 1960′s that it became the boy scout hut for a while, to be later abandoned when the new scout hut was built on the street behind Blenkinsop’s butchers shop. Then it was torn down, probably in the mid to late 1970s. We used to sled down the hill alongside this building in the 1960′s when I was a kid.”

Dericks right, It was actually attached to the right hand side of the Station Hotel, aother use was it was used as a band hut for the Loftus town brass band that was formed in the mid sixties – you can imagine how bad the accustics were in a wooden hut with a tin roof!
