I definitely remember the name, but when I searched for it just now it came up as being on Church Street rather than Surrey Street.

Was Remys not one of the little shops on the left hand side as you walk southwards down the market from Church Street? Very old looking buildings with an overhanging first floor held up on columns, next to what is now the Fox pub?

I remember those little shops. I thought one of them was a sports shop? I seem to recall buying trainers there, and also an adidas top in about 1989/90?! It was always damp smelling in there. Tiny little shops. Cafe next door.

If Zaha goes to Milan he'll leave all this rich cultural history behind.

Used to buy my clothes in Surrey Street in mid eighties.

Do you remember a clothes shop called Remys (may be spelt differently)
Think there were about three shops, all staffed by Indians who jumped on you as soon as you stepped foot inside.

Plus you had Beanos the record shop.

Does anyone remember the name of the shoe shop? Think it may have been called Doctor something but may be completely wrong.

Don't know about the shoe shop but wasnt there a club down Crown Hill just off Surrey Street called Doctor Jim's??

I also remember a cracking little clothes shop just off North End called Budwalls as well..

Is that a Mexico?

It looks like a painted Ford Capri. I think they only made Ford Escorts in the Mexico style.

Does anyone remember Hewitts kind of general stores in Church Street ,used to spend my pocket money on Dinky Toys in the 1950's,wish I still had them now.
