replied on: 9/23/2005 10:26:53 PM If I'm in the right place there was Harrimans Mens Outfitters on the corner in 1960's, 70's (and before that).Winfields rings a bell,what did they sell? |

replied on: 9/24/2005 7:04:16 AM Winfields was a drapery. Apparently the shop, at a later date (1980's), was called Creations. |

replied on: 9/24/2005 7:33:47 AM Got it! Was Winfields there for a very long time-as I believe that is where Arthur Harriman (of gents outfitters)worked as a young man before he opened his own shop. |

replied on: 9/24/2005 12:32:17 PM That's a good question, Ice. Not that long ago (within the last 15 years), but I think it will need a check of the Ripley & Heanor to get a proper answer to the closure of Godfrey Street. |

replied on: 9/25/2005 7:20:58 AM Hi, It could have been the Coop, it had two big windows and a door set back in the middle and I think you could park at the side. I will have a look at the adverts in the papers for the shops you have named. Jenny |
