It really isn't.
Used to like Shakespeare records under Paragon Station, they used to provide the records played at Boothferry Park
Also Discount Menswear which is now entrance to Princes Quay - got a red harrington jacket from there

True .
I also used to like the Army surplus shop in Kings Market for old Levi's.
Last , but no means least, the shop in the same market that sold "Arrow" jeans.........legendary
East hull was a fab place to grown up. East park felt like the centre of the universe, that later turned in to the crown or mill pub as I got older
It's a shame my kids will never have the same experience
Cravens muso shop, almost under the railway bridge on Craven Street/Holderness Rd. corner; they had another shop next to Sellit & Soon on Holderness Road, near Dansom Lane.
Run by Mike Oliver, if I'm remembering right?

Can't remember the name but my mam worked there, across the street was British Gas Could it have been called Sportscraft?
Great memories and thread, East Hull, Regis Record Shop, Hold'ness Road, spent many hours in there in the listening booths, listening to the new singles and LPs. Happy days.
Tomorrows world was the larger one under city hall , it was the store that had 2 halves ... Once side was the posh n expensive IBMs , Mackintosh and boring language books ... The other side had the home computers and games,the store never quite got onto the booming gamer side of things , it was always a bit boring .
Much preferred the other place , I'm still sure it was called computer store/shop .. It had all the games n joysticks n realistly available peripherals haha WHsmiths was probably the next best place in the early 80s for home computing
Is this the corner you mean? Opposite Cecil and Europa House?

Once in France with the wife and kids when my missus asked for Steak Tatare...........well done. The waiter looked to the heavens and replied "Madame it is raw"
in the voice of the Gendarme in Allo Allo.
virgin rags was a pretty hip place, circa 73/74. i think it was in the prospect centre backing on to debenhams.
even went out with the manageress, for a week i think, happy times. why does life have to become so serious?

Another France story, in a restaurant, a French group were drinking out of large goblets, some Americans nearby had normal wine glasses. On asking if they could have goblets too the waiter examined their wine bottle and said 'No, I do not think so'...
That's where I was thinking anyway - pretty sure it was called M Micro (or summat like that)
That's the one , the shop is just out of shot , I don't deny it was called m micro- or similar , I just got the more generic computer store name in my memory bank for some reason -
