Hi elvisontour
Probe now Ted Baker, shopped there Monday with wife, two daughters and one granddaughter. Eldest daughter (44) spoke to one of the staff (who obviously knew about it's past history) about her early teenage years when Pete Burns worked there. Believe Julian Cope and Paul Rutherford also worked there. Fine old buildings round and about.
Best Regards
Allan

The photo of Mr Alliston has Miss Patefield in it also and looks like it was taken at Stuart Road Playing fields probably a sports day?
