Having a chat yesterday and all of used to shop there but not one of us could remember the name of the shop

Opposite the clock tower, next door to Boots at the bottom of the steps. Men’s clothing shop . Can anyone remember the name please

I came up with Stunning Rags and Taste but I think they were similar shops in town at the same time period.

Thanks in advance

Stunning Rags was along Western Road.

I do remember this shop and actually remember buying an Adidas t shirt in there, but can't help with the name.

The shop I think he means was there in the early 80s

I thought he meant the other side of Boots, the entrance in Queens Road.

1880’s

Definitely Queens Road

It was 1985 to 1988 I reckon

I wasn’t around in 1888 but I f**king feel like I was.
