I do remember the Miss Caigers - they were two sisters, but cannot remember what they used to sell. I also remember Berrys in Broad Street who used to sell knitting wool. The shop was close to Montague House.

Miss Caigers,was that the shop near to the International Stores, the end of the Market Place before Denmark St.? I used to work in the International fridays and saturdays in the 60s , and remember a shop nearby with chickens running around, and the fireworks for sale.

The Miss Caigers had a little boot and shoe shop in Peach Street which hit you with the most gorgeous smell of leather when you opened the door to go in. The lady who sold the air guns and sheath knives in Denmark Street was called Miss Baker.
