Title: RIP Anne Iliffe. Tobacconist's, Whit Moor.

Missed this in the DT somehow. Knew her quite well some time ago  :(

Quote from:  Me on FB:

A good few years back Miss Iliffe used to use the taxi firm me and the wife work for.
I was lucky enough to pick her up quite regular, always a story and a good natter with her
Now, who knew she had an old near mint condition Peugeot 205GTi in the garage at the back of the shop.
She'd bought it brand new but refused to sell it even after she stopped driving.

RIP Miss Iliffe

I can remember the tax disc on it when she was moving out of the shop too :)) think it had been forgotten for a while. She was still driving up until about 10 years ago, used to be entertaining watching her navigate the garage door around the back of the shop.
She was a lovely lady who I thought would last forever in that shop. Rip mrs Iliffe.
