How about Winston's on Snig Hill for a tasty shirt?

Wilson Pecks on London Road where you could listen to an entire album in your own booth before deciding whether to buy it or not?

Theatrical Supplies at the bottom of the Moor for red-face soap, whoopee cushions etc.

S&E at the bottom of Eccy Road for school blazers,,, err, I'll forget about that bit:( But the shop was quite impressive

Yes and Redgates for Airfix kits and a marvellous model railway section

I remember when Virgin Records was quite a small dingey shop at the bottom of the moor at the side of the Yorkshire Bank,that smelled of joss sticks and sold clothes as well as records.

Remember when Debenhams used to be called Pauldens too
