The shops on Peel Street - Noble's was definitely a shoe shop - sold sensible shoes, such as Clarke's. For our shoes we generally went to Bainbridge's in Blackburn. We had to have our feet x-rayed. You looked down a sort of funnel and saw the shapes of your feet against a green background. Remember the "Startright" advert? A boy and girl walking off along the road?
Veever's was a sort of delicatessen - I remember they sold chocolate ants - I never saw them anywhere else.
Isobel Winter's was across the road. That's where you got your High School uniform. Except for your pullover or cardigan, which you got from "the Blind" (on Bank Street).
