Bullpitts
A Memory of North End.
Hi in the early 1960s I worked in Bullpitts Department Store. It was quite an up market family owned business with shops in Southsea and Lee on Solent. I am interested to know if anyone else can remember it. I will add North End in that era was a great shopping experience - you had Marks and Spencer, Woolworths, Will Browns, at least five shoe shops, several ladies fashion shops, a perfumery, Melanies and Mcillroys department stores along with Hardys and Whites furniture shops. These are just a few I can remember but there were lots more. You had no shortage of cafes and restaurants along with three cinemas and if you wanted a drink you had a very wide choice. Along with several gents tailors and outfitters, one of which was Burtons food shops, fishmongers, fruiterers, florists, newsagents, chemists - I could go on and on. What amazes me now is why on earth did Portsmouth City Council allow North End to become so low down on the choice of a shopping experience.
