what shops used to be on your high street?
thinking about another thread on high streets and how mine used to be so much nicer and I liked to visit what shops did you have on yours? We used to have :
Coop home and furniture store . Woolworths C&A Marks and Spencers (decided they weren't making enough money) Somerfield supermarket I am sure there are many more I cant remember , sadly they have all been replaced it seems by betting shops, takeaways, phone shops is also a popular one.

Mac Fisheries
Hepworths before they became Next When I first started work in 1962 (yes I did  ) I had an account with Hepworths called Club 24 and bought bespoke suits for work from the High Ousegate branch in York I then moved on to Lord John for even bigger lapels on my suit jackets.

)I thought I'd made it buying suits from Hepworths as a 16 year old as they were designed just for me by Hardy Amies.  Oddly enough I never met him.Mick

Somerfields got taken over by Co-op and then some of those stores went to become Morrisons.
Keymarkets was one of the supermarkets that became Somerfields if you want to go back further in that chain. |
