Anyone else remember this toyshop from thier childhood?Situated at the top of Warner street,it was surely the 60's equivelent to Toys r us.Sold everything from prams,cots,bikes,airfix kits,action men & just about everything else kids were into back then.Remember after a particulary brave episode at the dentist my mum would take me there,not for a toy but to put one old penny in the slot by the window so the train set inthe window would send the train a couple of laps round the track.Bought all the original Thunderbirds & Captain Scarlet models there(how i wish i still had those pristine in their original packaging).Come to think of it,is there a toy shop in Accy now or is it just Woolies & Argos?Wheres the magic gone for youngsters these days?
