Me too, they had everything worth having. I even had that grey jumper in the window. After skinhead faze I had my first dilingers and grand dad shirts etc there. Great shop, good days.
 
Had my first Dr Martins from Blacks by the market entrance union st end, they had good gear too.

Have you seen the price of them now bloody hell . There still a stall on the Market where you can buy them .Mine were Oxblood 14 hole or was it 16 ?.all I know they chaffed my calves to buggery , I still wear a couple of Harrington jackets (time less classic ) and Ben Shermans, good quality certainly the heavier cotton .
