The irony is Dave, is that in the past the Council has spent money on consultants,identifying shopping trends in Hyndburn. We could have got this lad doing it for nowt.

What........? None of you lot remember Veevers? What about Isobel Winters, Prices bake shop, Loofe's for sartorial elegance.
Veevers was a very upmarket grocers shop........they used to sell 'Gold Dish' Jaffa juice in bottles with a Royal blue and gold label.....that was the object of my affections, but alas, at two shillings and sixpence a bottle, there was no chance of me actually tasting the stuff.
They also sold little tins of 'Gold Dish' lunch tongue....didn't fancy that much......my mother always said I had enough tongue(and cheek).

I can't believe that no-one remembers the shop. It was where the first shop is at the market end of the TSB row of shops.
