I ruined lots of dresses on there sliding down on a piece of cardboard. Hours of fun which didn't cost a penny. Bet the Flip Flops took a battering as well.

jane2008 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Does anyone remember the name of the butchers very near to the Paragon? Mid seventies. I think it was owned by two men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
