Oh no

amazed it lasted so long, "Cavendishs" before em closed n that i thought was a much better shop.
 
Went in must be five or six years ago with Ianto looking for a new bed and bedroom furniture. To be perfectly honest not much choice and delivery dates not when we wanted. Ended up buying from Argos which says a lot for "quality local service" IMHO :sad:
 
which furniture shop is it??? sorry, or am I being a bit dim?

It's next door to the Calder.

They employ a lad, to walk up and down wearing a sandwich board, who always looks like he's about to cry, and who you can't help feeling sorry for.

Isn't that the place that once was Glynn Webb that employ the sandwich board lad?? x

Perhaps there's two.

Davis's bed store definitely employed one.

We used to see him when we were sat in Over Coffee.

Looking like he'd rather be doing anything else, other than walk up and down wearing that sandwich board.

:D

To be fair, im sure i could think of better ways to spend my days that wearing a sandwich board though lol

So..if it will move to Blackburn, it will possibly be called;
DAVIES OF BLACKBURN
 
I'm quite sure that on tuesday - about 10am - I saw big, whitewashed writing saying "Closing Down", being removed from the windows of this shop. How odd?

Maybe Wetherspoons jumped the gun early in taking the Commercial off Thwaites's hands; if they'd have waited a bit longer, they could have had the premises next door to the Calder. Now that would have been fun.
 
agree Wadey lovely building...........would make a fabulous Karen Milen shop, but don't really see that working in accrington!!! Hey ho make way for another pound store!
 
Out of curiosity, how many shops can people think of that have been going for 20 years .

We know food shops like butchers, bakers tend to have a long family history but how many non-food shops have lasted that long ?

I guess Garth Dawsons will be one of them, after that I'm stuck :)
