That one came long after Len Rowbottoms and then the one across the road on the "Technical Arcade". Got my second bike at Len's (he and my cousin were best mates), in 1952/3 - a hand built Hill's Special.
I remember a couple of the shops in Warner Street when I used to buy tropical fish etc at Baldry's at the top of Warner St.
I also remember the Off Licence at the corner of Washington Street/Stanley Street in the 1940s which is still there
