Merrett

Around those years there were also other shops selling records: like Smiths, it wasn’t their core business. Such shops included Boots the chemist, Rumbelows the electrical shop, Merretts the newsagents, Woolworths, Tesco’s Home and Wear shop (which used to be on the corner of Granby Street), and probably more! And not forgetting the market, of course, where over the years there have been a variety of stalls selling records. Lynne (2025)
