Daven Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I think that by 1974 Cockaynes would have become Schofields. It was certainly Schofields in early 1975. I think you may be right, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kidorry Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I think that statue was put there when it was Hornes.I can assure you that Atkinsons was at the top of Snig Hill if my memory serves me right.There was Atkinsons & Cockaynes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmambo Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 The top of Angel Street is called Market Place. Schofields, ABC cinema, Crystal Room, Amusement Arcade, Leyland Paints, Kitchen Centre, was the run of shops. The statue was on the old Horne's shop.

The time I am on about is before those places were built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidorry Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I have it at the back of my mind that Atkinsons was inside Cockaynes.I will ask the family tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Talker Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I have it at the back of my mind that Atkinsons was inside Cockaynes.I will ask the family tomorrow. Atkinsons was an independent family -owned store, which has always been on The Moor, and was never part of Cockaynes. Cockaynes became Schofield's, which I think was part of the chain which owned House of Fraser (which took over Walshes, now TJ Hughes) The statue on Hornes (the building which castle house expanded into a few years ago) was put there in the early 1960s, and represents Vulcan. (and of course the city's link with metal and steelworking) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
