That's going back quite a while Padders.

60/70s

Maybe the 80s.

Use to love going round the fish market, had many a good breakfast at Graham Shaws.

Mind you I use to love the old "Rag n Tag"

Times have changed Melty, and I'm getting old.. Great memories though.

Saucer of cockles.

They were happy times, we didn't have much but never wanted or expected much.

Yep,  6d (old money) for Cockles, Mussels, Whelks, used to love em...

And then into the Commercial Hotel for the electricians to pay their union subs.

Bought a wrist watch down Chapel Walk with part of my first wage of  £6-15 from Ackroyd and Abbots. in 1964, it still works.

Hold on to them,  it's often the metal which is valuable.

Someone may want them for nostalgia reasons or they may bring back memories for you.

I haven't smoked for about 50 years now but I still have the Ronson Varaflame lighter my parents bought me for my 16th birthday.

It brings back memories from when I carried it  schooldays,  my civilian jobs, throughout my army service and in different countries I visited.

Only a small thing but lots of memories.

According to The Star, this plan is ‘still alive’ and there may be an announcement within a month:

 

Debenhams in Sheffield city centre could still come back to life as a ‘People’s Store’ selling second hand items, The Star has learned.

 

“Anthony Lorenz, spokesman London firm MHA, which owns the building, said the firm was “working up something” and hoped to make an announcement within a month.”
