Wasn't it the Great American Drugstore with the Great American Soda Bar as a part of it?
I remember parents used to be able to dump their kids off in there while they did the shopping as an added bonus?🤣

Wow - wasn't Nelson Steet pulled down in the 1960s.

Reeds was open in the 1970s it was mainly Sports goods, but I remember getting my school tie and blazer badge and blazer (not Eton).

Reeds Sports also had a shop in Redcar on Station Road. I loved to go in there particularly to buy my Subbuteo teams. I still have my Boro one in its original box from the 70s.
 
Merediths and Sparks, both bakers. Baums, a shop stuck in the early 20th century with clothes on display in glass drawers. Is Rea's cafe still about? The Porthole cafe near Albert Park.
 
What is it with barbers? I used to get my haircut at Rays on Clarendon Rd back in the 70s. He always had fantastic jokes and anecdotes. Often had the shop in stitches. Nowt to do with his shaving technique I might add.
 
Manchester House - so long as I can still get my Oxblood DM boots for £6.99

Raines Dairy , corner of Worcester Street & Crescent Road - still the best ice cream I've ever had the pleasure of consuming
