Shops and Cafes no longer here.

Importers with coffee roasting in the window on Guildford High Street was great. I recall Fields in Hull as a boy.

From my days of living in Chester I remember Brown's of Chester .
It was a beautiful department store.
There were plush armchairs for the benefit of customers!
It eventually became a very shabby Rachams. No idea if it's still there as many branches of Rachams have closed.
Also in Chester, Quaintways a large grocery shop.
I used to take my daughter to Chelsea Girl in Chester when she was a teenager. She's almost 58 now.

Tammy girl. Saw one in Tenerife.
I never shopped there but remember it well.

I met my first husband at On the Seventh Day in Manchester. We used to go every Saturday in the mid 70’s. If they burned the brown rice you got it for free!

I remember Leon's corner house Marble Arch, my mum used to take us there many moons ago.we lived in Camden town

Lyons not leons

There used to be John Colliers for men.
When I was a child I used to sing along with the tune..John Collier John Collier the windows to wash, never understood why people would want to wash shop windows

I used to buy my children’s uniforms and clothes from Littlewoods. I can remember my mum buying me clothes from C and A - they always seemed to be made of crimpoline, so don’t miss that 😂 I used to like Debenhams. It was always the start of Christmas to take my children to see the lovely Christmas displays. And every area seemed to have a local hardware shop where you could buy just about anything. Ours was called Lennox. If you needed a screw, a mop, an obscure bit for the washer - ‘I’ll go to Lennox’s’
