JenC Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 what about virgin records at bottom of the moor There was a shop above Virgin that sold kind of hippie clothing and stuff which my mum and dad used to go to (my dad still has some patchouli essence he got from there in the early 70s - not that he wears it now!). When they've told me about this shop in the past though, neither of them can remember if it was a seperate shop or just tied in with the Virgin record shop below. Do you know by any chance?

Guest sibon Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 and a few ive forgotten the names of oops there was one record shop on the gallery over the markets, That was Revolution Records, a brilliant place. Can you remember the name of the Record Shop opposite Coles on Cambridge Street? It has been knocked down now, but I seem to recall it going back for what seemed like forever.

hillsbro Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 ...Can you remember the name of the Record Shop opposite Coles on Cambridge Street? It has been knocked down now, but I seem to recall it going back for what seemed like forever.I think it was called Impulse. In 1985-86 I was able to buy some really hard-to-get rock LPs there - a great shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertDSmith Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Wilson Gumpert's !!! Hills. you must be in line for the double winter fuel handout never mind the free telly ! My dad was a model railway builder so we knew about them. His first job when he left school was at Cole Brothers on the Fargate door helping the ladies out of their carriages. If that is too mind bending a thought what about Coles' retaurant on the top floor with the bar stools and lunch for 7/6. When it went up to 8/6 I decided I could'nt afford it anymore. But as an impressionable young man in my Daks suit I felt I was somewhere special. Nowadays I struggle to afford a bar lunch let alone a Daks suit ! Is'nt hindsight and reflection a wonderful thing.

hillsbro Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Wilson Gumpert's !!! Hills. you must be in line for the double winter fuel handout never mind the free telly! Hmmmm.... Well, I'll admit to a (single) fuel handout and a bus pass but I haven't yet joined the free-telly club.. Wilson Gumpert's must have closed in the 1960s. They always had a wonderful display of toys - unaffordable of course, but it was nice just to stand with your nose pressed against the window and look at, for example, the huge Meccano models on display, and the Bing model trains (made in Germany - the German-born Ernst Gumpert was originally a sales rep. in Sheffield). The shop had its own short thread last year. ...what about Coles' restaurant on the top floor with the bar stools and lunch for 7/6...Yes indeed - also Davy's café in Fargate and the milk bar in Pinstone Street.
