More about this scene

Clemersons, the town's one and only department store, had started in the mid 19th century as an ironmongers. It grew both in physical size - occupying a rabbit warren of connected shops on the corner of Cattle Market and Market Street - and in its range of goods. Furniture sales (as well as storage and removals), glass, carpets, china and toys were all part of Clemersons' stock-in-trade.

Clemersons was a great toy and model shop. I used to go in the 60s upstairs to their model section.
