There was a sports shop just past where Mcilroys used to be think it was the spot or something like that, also Macfisheries, remember seeing rabbits hanging in the windows there when i was a kid, also there was a cafe next door to rumbelows and what about that petshop on havelock street was it Hinders? Seem to recall Carrefour having a garden centre next to it.
Anyone else remember the 'Celery' song being sung around  the county ground, ended up with loads of celery sticks being thrown around the town end.  Happy days

A fairly recent departure, but one i fondly remember and makes me feel old thinking about it - Mission. Circa 2001/2002 were glory days...

Haha good shout - if you had your mission card you could go on a Sunday night - 66p drinks! Yay those were the days! Smiley

Froud & Hext have moved
didn't they join in with Spot on to make a thoroughly less good model shop in a tiny shop?

Froud & Hext have moved
Duck Son and Pinker

I was wondering whether Froude & Hext still existed - a veritable treasure trove of toys in the 60s, especially Brittains soldiers and farm and zoo animals....I loved that place....and then I read Duck, Son and Pinker....and saw that appalling fountain that was put into the new Parade....always decorated with mountains of rubbish, and virtiually no water.....aaahhh what a town it used to be

anyone remember kuzee? he used to walk around town with a ghetto blaster on his shoulders and kuzzee in transfer letters(probably printed at the sports market stall)across his back.

fireballs from the icecream man.
the coupon counter at carrefour-gateway-asda.
the amusement arcade at the bottom of vic hill opposite the college.
the corona man.
