No Kate I'm going back to the 60s 70s now I actually Knew that bloke who owned it, he was called Duncan (I think) used to frequent the Coach and Horse, he took over running the shop from his mother, at one time it was the only shop in Accy where you could get Clarks shoes

I remember Clark, a small lad usually ran around the playground in his barefeet because the bigger boys had stolen his footware to sell to the shoe shop.
