More's Parade Store, 502 Main Street, Liverpool, Nova Scotia


More's Parade Store in 1958
Herbie More owned and operated a small grocery store on Main Street next to his house. The location is now the parking lot to the right of the present Liverpool Fire Hall. He opened the store in 1948 and operated it for years. When I was a young kid, I remember the building being occupied by "Riverside TV" which had musical instruments and electronics I believe. Riverside TV eventually moved from the building and relocated in Milton where Walkers Store was. The building is located next to what was Rogers Market. More's store building was demolished in the 1970s when the Fire Hall was built and parking areas needed. I don't remember More's Store at all, perhaps it was closed before I was old enough to remember things. Does anyone know who owned and operated Riverside TV? Just curious!!

More's Store/Riverside TV building on the right. The building close to the photographer was used for salt. A dozer would load it full of salt and it the salt trucks would drive under it. The salt would go on the back of the trucks to be used when road conditions were icy.

  1. I remember Sharad(sic) Crowell running the Riverside TV store. After he left Milton, it was located near the present day MacPhersons. That building went on to be home to MacPherson's/Liverpool Pizzeria before he built the present store and then Darrel Conrad ran a sporting goods store there.

  2. I am not sure who the kids are in front but the second from the right looks like Richard Fiander.

  3. You should generously massage your head with this oil at night
    for flaunting a high quality curls next day. Identify your own hair trouble and go for a product which mainly addresses your needs.
    It soothes scalp region and make hair dark and lustrous.
    From my experience, it is quite difficult to style hair immediately after a
    hot oil treatment, so you might want to skip the curling iron or hot rollers.
    There are many products these days that can help with keeping your
    hair in good condition but what of oils.

  4. My aunt Marion worked for Herbie for years, then she bought out Carson's store on the Old Port Mouton Road at the corner of George Street....she called it "West End Grocery", and operated it for many years. She did very well at this location.
