Shops that don't exist anymore

I'm 70 next month, Lesley Browns was a Treasure Trove of Hornby OO and Scalextric. Their Bonfire nigh display could have taken Stockton High street off the map. My son in the 80 got his He' Man figures there after play school. Just loved the shop.

Spent hours in there while my dad was on the top floor going through the music section for opera records. Brilliant shop, I'd spend most of the time going through the Subbuteo teams

Don't recognise this shop - where was it? I remember Chips being upstairs above a shop on Linthorpe Rd in the late 80s. My Grandma worked in a bridal wear shop on the corner of Linthorpe Rd and King Edward's Rd and Chips was opposite, so I used to go in to see her and then pop over the road to buy Amstrad and later Amiga games.

It moved onto Borough Road, id hazard a guess the photo is the stockton shop which was down one of the side streets towards the Riverside off the high street

No one remember The Games Store which was a couple of doors up towards Uptons on Linthorpe Road?

Which has reminded me of Reeds on Station Road in Redcar where I used to go for my Subbuteo teams. Did they have a branch elsewhere (South Bank??) or is my ageing memory playing tricks?

Ronson Lighter shop Ramsgate just up from the Reindeer.

Simon's on Tollesby Rd. As close to Open All Hours as anything - with a touch of German Sausage...

See Alan fairly regularly as he lives just round the corner from me. He’s in his 80s but is still in good shape.

Always seemed grumpy to me... glad he's okay of course.

Cheers. Games Store does ring a bell but I can't picture it

Anyone else remember Forshaws the tobacconist shop that was at one of the entrances to the Cleveland Centre facing out onto Albert Rd?

Probably because he’s actually quite a shy and reserved man. He’s lovely once you get to know him.
