My wife Anna was a saleslady on the fashion floor here 1960-62. Lovely family owned business to work for. I remember as a child being fascinated by the overhead catapult boxes connecting each dept to the cashier's pulpit. This store was rebuilt on this site after the war as the original was bombed where Woolworths later stood. Of particular note was the magnificent Lift which was rescued from the debris and re-constructed here.
