Can Anyone Remember .....

High Street c1960
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

It was lovely to see photos of the Queensbury I remember as a child. I have been going over the High Street in my mind, trying to remember the names of all the shops. Can anyone remember the shop that was between Gallons and Swires Drapers shop. I just can't remember it and it is driving me mad.
I was born and brought up in Queensbury and lived there until I was married. After looking on Google Maps it would appear that the High Street has changed much. gone is Stocks Hardware Shop which was full of everything you didn't know you wanted. Gone are all the other shops - The Economic, Archers Newsagents, Stanley Coats Sweet Shop and Miss Giffords Hat Shop. That's the nice thing about memories, they stay fresh in your mind and never tarnish. If anyone can remember the name of that shop then please add a memory.
