Pauline Marshall/Marshalls Records
 

Former record shop owner Pauline Marshall died on Tuesday June 12th after a short illness. I`m sure many on Accyweb were regulars at one of the three record shops Accrington had in the `70s. There is a nice article in this weeks Observer looking back on her life. The funeral is at 3pm Tuesday July 3rd for anyone who may wish to attend, with dress code an appropriate tribute to Paulines vibrant personality. I will be wearing my black suit, as Aunt Polly always liked me in a suit!

Sorry to hear that, got most of my early records from her Top lady was a great help to my early collection. R.I.P. Pauline.:(

Re: Pauline Marshall/Marshalls Records
 

Bought many a record from Mrs Marshall when she had her shop on Whalley Road (including quite a few that I hadn't intended buying when I went in - she was a great sales lady! ;) ). RIP Pauline.

Re: Pauline Marshall/Marshalls Records
 

Never had the privilege but sounds like we may have locked horns and then got on, RIP Pauline, to the great record store in the sky ! xx

Re: Pauline Marshall/Marshalls Records
 

It was a competitive business back then too, as Accy had five different independent record shops - sounds unbelievable now!

Re: Pauline Marshall/Marshalls Records
 

A lovely, bubbly lady - was the shop I bought my very first single from & used to spend hours in there - RIP Pauline & deepest condolences to your family xx

Re: Pauline Marshall/Marshalls Records
 

What an excellent lady she was...I bought many a record from her in the old days, she was very genned up and knew her stuff, and would go out of her way to order anything you asked for. Sorry to here she's no longer with us. R.I.P Mrs Marshall :(

Re: Pauline Marshall/Marshalls Records
 

The name rings a bell what period was Marshalls open,:confused: what about Mary's Music? :)

Re: Pauline Marshall/Marshalls Records
 

I haven't been on this site for quite a while and so I have only just seen this sad news. I bought almost all of my 45's (Motown & Northern) from Pauline and still have most of them. Absolute gem of a lady. RIP

Re: Pauline Marshall/Marshalls Records
 

Sorry is this the same lady who ran Marys Music ? Bought loads of records from there over the years.

R.I.P.

Re: Pauline Marshall/Marshalls Records
 

Nah Shurm different shop altogether.;) Just on the block from Marys.

Re: Pauline Marshall/Marshalls Records
 

Oh right sorry, cheers.

Re: Pauline Marshall/Marshalls Records
 

I am annoyed that IU cannot remember the name of Accrington's second record shop. It followed Haworth's of Whalley Rd near top of Broadway and was situated in Abbey St at the top off Little Blackburn Rd. It brought a breath of fresh air after Haworth's stuffy atmosphere. I've forgotten the name of the manageress, who lived on Thorneyholme Rd, but do remember that the young assistant, a few years older than me, was Eunice Kerr, now a gorgeous 70-odd granny. A girl of my acquaintance, Pat Lightfoot, also of Thorneyholme Rd, sister to Ray, worked in the shop part-time.

Re: Pauline Marshall/Marshalls Records
 

Was it called "Disc & Tape" Bob? I think that`s what it was called when I used to go in there (mid 80`s)

Re: Pauline Marshall/Marshalls Records
 

I recall Rod Hill of Warriors fame took over the record shop on Abbey Street and turned it into a Carnaby St style clothing shop. Mog can you confirm ?

Re: Pauline Marshall/Marshalls Records
 

Correct it was , though how Bob gets "Accys Second Record Shop" is beyond me?:confused: There were 2 main shops long before Disc @ Tape,plus a few others that didn't last long.

Re: Pauline Marshall/Marshalls Records
 

Disc and Tape bought my first record there, spent many a Saturday afternoon gassing in there !!

Re: Pauline Marshall/Marshalls Records
 

I remember Disc and Tape. We all used to go there as teenagers. When I first met my 'future' husband he couldn't decide which album to choose and asked for my opinion. I chose a Peter Gabriel album, he pulled his puss when he got home and found it was all in German!! Lol.:alright: were not together anymore as it happens, turns out I'm a dab hand at bad choices! :dancedog:

Re: Pauline Marshall/Marshalls Records
 

Aye Peter Gabriel is a bad choice.:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::rofl38:

Re: Pauline Marshall/Marshalls Records
 

In 1956, there was only Haworth's of Steinway House and possibly Woolworth's where records could be bought in Acc. Then the shop I am talking about opened. I will enquire as to the name. Disc & Tape doesn't ring any bells.

Re: Pauline Marshall/Marshalls Records
 

Cannot recall Pauline Marshall or Disc and Tape, But i do know that Mary Mortimer, wife of Joe of Mort's dancing, opened a record shop when the dancing business was still operating. I believe, and stand to be corrected it was in Whalley Rd. below the bridge. That was the only only one i can ever remember apart from Haworth's.

Re: Pauline Marshall/Marshalls Records
 

Paulines Shop @ Marys were on the same block on Whalley Rd Marys was corner of block(Bottom of Dowry St) Paulines was around the centre of the block, virtually across the road from the Polish Grocers, This would be mid 60s Remember also another record shop before Wollworths on Broadway, forgot the name, but it had booths in were yeh could listen to a new record yeh were thinking of buying. also mid 60s, Disc n Tape arrived in 70s i reckon?:)

Re: Pauline Marshall/Marshalls Records
 

About what year would you say Pauline's opened Cashy?.

Re: Pauline Marshall/Marshalls Records
 

65 at a guess Irene, i nearly always used her,she gave a much better customer service i thought. possibly a bit earler, memorys not as was, lol

Re: Pauline Marshall/Marshalls Records
 

Problem solved Cashy. Thats why i don't remember her. I got married in 63, never had any money to buy records after that.

Re: Pauline Marshall/Marshalls Records
 

I've checked with the afore-mentioned Eunice Kerr. She says it was 'Abbey TV'. r co-worker was Joan - I've forgotten her surname. Eunice's dad was a top snooker player and ref. Her only had one leg. They lived on Derby St. She has a brother, Michael.
