Steve ColemanStorries, did it have record booths upstairs where you could listen before buying? Have a memory of The Last Time by the Stones.

Steve Coleman I remember buying Donovan's Jennifer Juniper in '68 , among others

Elizabeth Doxat-PrattIt was Storreys you use to be able to go into a little booth & listen to a record you wanted to buy.

Trina MiliamDefinitely Storry's where Brook Taverner mens wear shop is now. We used to go up to the record department after school in the 1960s and ask for the latest releases to be played until the staff got fed up with us, usually after three records!

I found this advert in the 'Portsmouth Evening News' dated 1st August 1902: “STORRY - Pianoforte & Music Warehouses (Oldest Established in the Town), 16, Palmerston Road, Southsea and 99, High St., Gosport.”
… and this in the 'Hampshire Telegraph' dated 19th December 1930: “STORRY'S – RADIO, PIANOFORTES, MUSIC, GRAMOPHONES, RECORDS. TORRY'S for Everything Musical. PALMERSTON ROAD, Branches at North End, Gosport, Southampton.”
… and also this in the 'Bognor Regis Observer' dated 6th December 1941: “STORRY'S (Chichester) Ltd. THE CREBER ROOMS, 83 NORTH ST., CHICHESTER. 'Phone 2853.”
