Could it have been Weaver to Wearer or Alexandra tailors, I bought suits of both in the late 60's but can't remember just where they were.
Alexandra was on the corner of Birch St I bought a blue gaberdean suit the in my teen years what they called a zoot suit because it was very loose fitting and had large shoulders fitted. Bryan Mercer later had the shop diy one of the first in Accy.
I think weaver to wearer was on the same block as HSBC and Yorkshire Bank the other end
Yes I'm almost certain it was Burtons .
The single-decker buses outide that row of shops were the Willows Lane and Moscow Mill buses .
The Fern Gore bus was a double-decker which left from Peel St , next to the Baptist church .
Yeh could be correct, though i can only remember Burtons when it was just a few shops past the Yorkshire Bank, Think the butchers may have been Dewhursts?

I think Dewhurst were there when I was at co-op
The name was Alexanders, and dont forget John Colliers, ( the window to watch ) it was a few doors up from Alexanders. Burtons on the corner of Dutton st, I think the Wimpy was next door.
I was measured for my first suit there , Jaysay , by a friend of the family who was the manager . Though it took me a while to recall that that corner shop used to be Burtons . Grey brain cells and all that
I got my first suit from there too JCB, 3 piece if I remember, which were all the rage in the 60sI was measured for my first suit there , Jaysay , by a friend of the family who was the manager .

And I bet you were served by my late friend , Michael . He was brother-in-law to Mr Almond who taught at Holy Family . I think you mentioned him once on the forum .
No , he never had a beard .
Ya your right JCM Can't for the life in me think of his surname, in later years I used to drink with him in the Spot and I think he worked a Mullards at Simingston at the time, I know he sadly died quite young from a brain hemorrhage, was very sad at the time, his son came to see me from church on Sundays, until he went to college
Sauls i'm sure has been mentioned before somewhere in nostalgis section fliss.
Michael Conway , Jaysay . Yes he worked at Mullards , and his son is teaching in the Blackpool area now .
