I recall that, in the late 40s/early 50s, a large shop next to where Catlows Fruit market used to be (top of Broadway and where dry cleaners is now), sold records (old 78 type)
I remember going there with my brother and we were ushered into a large wood and glass listening booth. The assistant, wearing gloves, placed the record on the turntable, and we sat and listened before buying.

That shop later became a furniture store where I bought stuff for my 1st house in 1961(was called Platts)

I think it was called Haworths or Howarths . If I'm right they had a grand piano in the window .
 
Bandbox was on Blackburn Road, opposite the market hall, Cashy. Remember the shop he's on about, but can't for the life of me remember what it was called.

I remember that shop,Margaret, you had to put big earphones on! Trouble is we couldn't afford to buy the records, just keep going to listen to them!
We were in heaven when my friends father got one of the first 'reel to reel ' Grundig recorders and we could tape Radio Caroline and play it back endlessly.
