Name: Ian Jakeman Comment: They moved to a purpose-built huge store on the corner of the top end of Market Street - two floors with escalators, now NatWest bank (2020 as I write).
Previously they were in a Victorian building which was demolished and became the entrance to Intu, previously Harlequin centre - the dome on the entrance is from the old Boots store.
Boots record department was a quarter of the first floor floorspace - quite big - and was well stocked with new releases and of course fiercely promoting discounted prices of 50p off in competition with WH Smith and Woolworths - they used to have a good back catalogue as I recall but heavily promoted new releases as well as singles.
