If I wanted dresses I went to Bell Bros. or D Hill Carter, they were both nice shops.
My earliest memory of shops and shopping was working as an errand girl for McConnell’s & McAvoy’s on Preston Rd. It was a grocery shop.
My mum and my nana had run shops themselves; nana’s was called E Short and we lived above the shop.
When I was first married I did all my shopping at the Hadrian, on the corner of Saville St. and Howdon Rd. If I wanted dresses I went to Bell Bros. or D Hill Carter, they were both nice shops. I also bought school stuff there, there was a good selection.
