Tinks, that would be Catlows. And they used to be housed in a green wooden shed in Peel Street.....just about where the bakers shop is now.
Blowers, the grocers goes back to the early fifties, so if you weren't around then you won't remember it. Bridges was next door to Moffats haberdashery and ladies wear store.....and Baileys, well that was where Baileys night club is now. That was the shop you went toif you were going somewhere posh and needed a nice 'costume' for that is what they called a ladies suit way back then.
