Below is an advert for the old supermarket on Clarendon Street showing the range of goods and services that were available circa 1976.
When I was young I used to love going in there with my Mum and Nan on a Saturday afternoon and buying chocolate biscuits which were all sold loose by the pound . As I got older I liked to peruse Hubbles record shop on the first floor. My Mum used to spend a lot of time on the haberdashery stall at the top of the stairs which always left me free to roam the entire shop floor with my sister. I never went in the Bingo area though - that was out of bounds.
Happy days !!

How I enjoyed reading this post. I had forgotten all about the stalls that were in there but I had a lovely time reading through the list and going round them all in my mind's eye.
I love reading your blog every day and this post of Hyde Supermarket has brought back some happy memories for me once again! My Mum used to work on Lowe´s stall there and I remember when me and my Dad used to go and pick her up when she finished work. She had a lot of friends working in there.
