Dodds was next to the Wheatsheaf Pub, it was further than the Wolfe from the town. The cycle shop opposite the Wolfe would have been Swifts.

When we moved to our present house, it wasn't quite derelict but not far off and I used to trail across town to get all my stuff from there. It was clearly struggling for business as it was built in the wrong place out at Walsgrave. It had all kind of offers on. Then on a Saturday morning before 9am, the DIY store offered a further 10 or 20% on top of the discounts already offered. It was stacked out with builders, needless to say, because it was so unbelieveably cheap - it never lasted long!!
Do-It-All was owned by W H Smith.

My first job was an apprenticeship with Wickman Ltd on Banner Lane. Due to start work on 5th September 1966 and told to report to the gatehouse with a 6 inch steel rule. As I left Woodlands as soon as I had finished my exams, and my apprenticeship in the bag, I had a few weeks to kill so I got a job at Victor Value in Queens Road shelf stacking. So, my first job actually became my second job.
