webber Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 A friend of mine is doing a family tree. She has sent me the following as an email: Looking to find out if anyone remembers a gun shop in Thirsk run by a man called John Simpson and if so, what happened to him? I would be obliged if PW members in the Thirsk area could cast their minds back and possibly shine some light. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonwolf444 Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 I'll ask about Is this a shop in living memory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) After a look online there was a Simpsons tackle and gun shop in S tokesly. Remember the name but lots of them have closed down. Edited May 26, 2017 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matone Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) John W Simpson was at two address` in the market place Stokesley in the 80`s. 1st was on Bridge Rd ,2nd would be High St ,I think. He later ran Lordstones Cafe at Carlton Bank top. There was a gunshop in Finkle St,Thirsk in the 70`s but I cannot remember the name.Seem to recall it had a related shop elsewhere,perhaps Harrogate Hth.
