Do you have a good corner shop where you live? All across Leeds, we spoke to people about the corner shops in their lives the ones they go to, the ones they work in, or the ones they remember from their youth. In this programme we visit shops in Harehills and Meanwood, and other corner shops remembered from long ago. Youll hear from Jodie, Fabeha and Sukhi about growing up in their parents shops, along with memories, writing and music about the place corner shops have in our lives and what makes them unique.
