Didn't work there but in 1967 got our first cooker and bedroom carpet from there.

Seem to remember the carpet was about £9 for the roll and the 9 inch strip that was cut off ran up the stairs to deaden the noise. No doubt these days youngster would be flashing the credit card.

Wasn't it spelled 'DWYRE'S' or 'DEWYRE'S' ? It was between Littlewood's coach booking office and Tedbar Tinker's on Spital Hill. Wholesale only wasn't it ?
