The shop got robbed of all the jumpers, I believe some lads went in through the roof, not sure if they got caught.
I lived nearby and definitely remember The Ship :wink:
I remember the shop but don’t think I went there.
There was a golf shop in Lewes Road opposite Preston Barracks that sold Farah trousers but the Potters were cheaper and the trousers seemed to be a better fit for some reason.
Potters near St Peter’s Church was the best place for these, a few years before they did a roaring trade in Harrington jackets and sta pressed trousers.
