I Worked Here

I worked at Bowhill Elliot and White shoe store at the top of The Walk in 1960  Every morning I walked through here to go to work. I still e-mail a friend who worked at Turners Photography also in The Walk.  We were like a family in The Walk, greeting each other every day, and going to lunch.

RE: RE: I Worked Here

I worked at Bowhill, Elliot and White in 1979, they sold clothes too. I remember a lot of the names of the women I worked with. The manageress was a Miss Wynes. When we sold older stock we used to earn a spiv, we called it, an extra amount on our wages.
