Who Remembers
 

Who remembers the optician in the Accrington Arcade, 20 yards in on the left from the Church St, entrance. Had a gadjet fastened to the inside on the window inviting you to look at it and test your eyes, I think the shop sign said see Kaffin/Caffin and see better.
Retlaw.

That would be Duxbury's Opticians methinks.......the only reason that I remember this is because it was my maiden name.......I used to walk through the arcade sometimes on my wy back from Peel Park School(usually when I had spent my bus money on Beech Nut chewing gum:D

Re: Who Remembers
 

I think MargaretP could well be right, I was only about 12 when I was taken there and obtained glasses, the name rings a bell.

Re: Who Remembers
 

I know it was Duxbury's because the optician had the same initials as my Dad.....J.H.Duxbury.......and I used to think it was strange, and wondered if we could by some chance, be related.

Re: Who Remembers
 

Remember the optitions, but would never have remembered the name, but fer margaretp.:)

Re: Who Remembers
 

So you never figured how to get the gum out of the machine without paying for it:eek::D

Re: Who Remembers
 

Exactly what I was thinking Eric, mind you girls were never as devious as boys, well not in some things that is:D

Re: Who Remembers
 

No...of course I didn't......that would be dishonest.......and I was well brought up despite being poor.

Re: Who Remembers
 

and before you tell me off for spending my bus money on chewing gum........that being dishonest(I guess) I reckoned that the walk from Peel Park to Rileys's Hill was the payment for my crime.
I shared my chewy with my brothers too.

Re: Who Remembers
 

was not dishonest, was silly,spent mine on "East Lancs":D

Re: Who Remembers
 

wasn't old enough to buy East Lancs.......though my grandad always let me have the froth off his beer....it tasted 'orrible, but it had some sort of status to it so I didn't refuse.

Re: Who Remembers
 

no excuse, i was walking home from school.so how was i old enough?:D

Re: Who Remembers
 

Told you Cashy....preferred Beech Nut......thought Beer tasted rank.....I like sweet tastes...and that definitely wasn't sweet.

Re: Who Remembers
