I thought it was Errol Street just off Avenue Road???

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned Hit Parade on York Road (previously Church Street).

I used to spend hours in there! My mate worked in there, and when I had a free hour or two between A levels I'd be straight down there.

The old one in Church Street was derelict for years. It still had loads of promo posters in the window, including 'Dickie Davies Eyes' by Half Man Half Biscuit.

Eee this brings things back a bit. Bruce Moore's......how could I forget, and the smell of paper and books in Whittakers.

Then there was Knight's grocers in Church Square and Curry's coffee shop in Lynn Street.

I have a fat friend who lives on Wharton Street.

Goldfinch Wines on the corner of The Catcote!

Stubbs' penny and halfpenny trays.

Presto on Throston who used to serve us booze in our school uniform.

Gunn's sweet shop on the corner of Caledonian and Oxford Road.

Hills the Bakers in Oxy Road.

Three Cooks in Oxy Road.

Andrea's off licence.

There was a Goldfinch Wines on the Fens shops as well. We used to nick empties out the back of the Fens pub and cash 'em in at Goldfinch Wines.

I went to school with the proprietors daughter. She was called Hazel Almond. Probably got married and now will be called Hazel Walnut. :roll:

Bill Oliver's cycle shop in King Oswy Drive. Lost count how many times we would send young whippersnappers in there asking for a mensural cycle. :laugh:

Wizzard on York Road. Great tasting yoghurts!

It's a bit sad now that every shopping parade features a pizza shop, a tanning/tattoo shop, an off licence/dvd shop, a rather expensive mini market and nowhere you would want to shop at voluntarily. :roll:

MutleyRules · **Posted:** Thu Sep 14, 2006 11:34 am

'Tan Ya Hide'....or was it 'Tan Yah Hyde'???? Raby Road!!!!

'Private Shop'....was that also in Raby Road????

What about the sweet shop next door to the Fairworld (ABC) picturesdon't know what it was called but you could only go in by yourself if more than two went in together they put a call out for the SAS never seen anyone before or since over react like those two old dears plus all the sweets were soft
