We used to have a haberdashers in our town. It had those money containers that the shop assistant put the sale money in and they sent it across the ceiling on a wire to the accounts office. Like a little cable car. I used to love watching it.

I would want the shop back for that and for the huge choice of fabrics, buttons etc that they sold.

Following on from nostalgic comments about long gone and much missed shops at the end of the recent Fair/Fayre thread I would like to propose a Fantasy Gransnetter's High Street!
I'd love to pop into - Timothy Whites.

Please add more shops, department stores and cafes!
