hillsbro Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Can anyone recall the name of the clothes shop on Union street circa 1972, it sold loads of cheesecloth shirts, loon pants and all manner of Bohemian type fashion. Please put me out of my misery!! I dunno - but here's a scan from the Kelly's Directory of 1973 (compiled in mid-1972). Maybe Bubble 'n' Squeak at No 26?. Redgates. I could have stayed in there all day if my mum would have let me.I must be older than you, singo; in my case it was Wilson Gumperts in Fitzalan Square - a wonderland of toys..

chimay Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 It wasn't really a Sheffield store but I have fond memories of C&A near the hole in the road and before that Banners down Attercliffe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forgevalley Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 Just thought of another - based on London Road and named after a Rolling Stones single, but was iconic in the stuff it sold - Ruby Tuesday's !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
