Ya 11am to 3pm 12noon till 2pm Sundays and opening time on Sunday night was 7pm too. I remember back in the 60s it was 10pm every night in Scotland, shut all day Sundays except clubs and hotels, and there was no such thing as 10 minutes drinking up time, 10pm and they wanted your glass or they'd take it empty or notyeah but Mon-Sat afternoon yeh could sup 11-00 while 3-00 i think.
Don't know if national chain stores count but the obvious one is Marks & Spencer which has now been in Accrington exactly 50 years and, unlike Boots, has stayed in the same place.
the leather shop on warner street has been there years
when I started in pub game in late 80's sunday afternnon was a right PITA as people could drink with meals so you would end up with all the pee heads coming in trying to get a drink by buying the smallest cheapest thing on the menu and nursing it from 2pm till 7 which blocked the tables so you couldn't serve others. shutting was 10:30 on Sunday but 11pm every other day. The 10:30 finish was there right up till 24 hour opening.

I was going to mention Marsdens leather shop as I passed it this afternoon.

It must have seemed quite sophisticated for you, (& possibly confusing), eating a meal from a plate using those new fangled tools known as cutlery, instead of eating chips from a newspaper with your fingers.

Another Accy shop set to close down;
Furniture store to close Accrington shop (From Lancashire Telegraph)
Why, after taking the time to announce to us as you did in the 1st post of this thread, that the place is closing down, would you think that a link to it's web site is of any use to anyone?
