replied on: 9/27/2005 10:49:42 AM I think it was the old post office which was taken over by the Council Rates Office-now the rates office is in the Town Hall. |

replied on: 9/28/2005 5:04:12 PM Here's the picture sent to me by Jennypeg.  This is the Ripley Co-op on the south side of the Market Place (same side as the Cosy). Apparently it is the oldest (or one of) building on the south side. |

replied on: 9/28/2005 6:39:37 PM I thought of asking whether it might be Thorpe's - they were/are a major Ilkeston shop, and what you describe still fits them today. |
