Use them or lose themSomething needs to be done with all the old department stores that have gone to the wall. I'd like to think that many could be converted into apartments or entertainment venues, but for that you need the demand.
Beales is another one that has now left massive holes in the high street
That’s what needs to be done
Where was thatThe Drapers ( my mam called it) was my favourite shop as a small kid in the 70s! It always had cool little toys and catapults and stuff. But when I Google drapers it was just a fabric shop! They definitely sold baseball boots and monkey boots cos I remember getting them from that shop.
I remember a similar shop in Dundas street where I got Dunlop silver flash and dr Martin’s shoes
A small co-op shop springs to mind
