Post by: Pete on March 02, 2014, 11:00:56 AM: Just found this brilliant photoset of Chesterfield - from Paul Greenroad, I think.

Check it out, some really excellent pictures.

My nana, mum and aunt all bought theirs from Spiers in size ten and a half! Mine were size elevens because I wasn't a short @rse unlike my relatives ::)

Fosters?

Could be Pete what did they sell?

I also thought of Fads was it a wallpaper shop, but thought that was maybe on the other side of the road?

I think FADS was down South Street (road down the side of Wilko's). Anyone else know?
