Prof, The last time I was walking through the Arcade was to pay the last £2 on my Singer Sewing machine but the shop had gone. Wonder what the interest would be from 1974. I would add there was no notice on the door as to where they had moved to. Psss... and I don't really want to know, but I felt a sense of guilt at the time. BTW, the stars look like the formation on the Australian flag. I am presuming that's what JW was thinking. Hope all is well with you folks and families. GYJ (get your jabs). I have seen a few t-shirts with that emblazoned on the front. Someone is making some money out of that little venture.

I am bored, at last have the decorators in after our plumbing problems and living with plastered walls for a couple of months. Can't do anything round the house and it's raining, so I have been looking through the newspapers and found some interesting shops, mostly in Smithford Street.

That photo of D Di's is probably the one on King William Street because the reflection in the window is of an opening eg Nelson Street.

John Perris was at number 65. Opposite the building next door (east) to Stroud's. Thanks to Heathite and his directories. Thumbs up

One of the best shops in its day was Billy Lane's Tackle in Much Park Street. On my introduction to fishing in 1962, I spent a lot of time there.

Hello all. New member and not sure where to post this! I was born 1950 in Coventry. In the mid/late 50`s my father opened a radio/ television shop on Earlsdon Avenue, North. Anybody have any memories of R.A. Aston and Sons? I can`t think what the street no. was. Thank you.

Hi Coventrian, welcome to the forum Wave Thanks to Heathite's directories I see that in 1960 there is an R A Aston at 190 Earlsdon Avenue but not in 1955. It's not mentioned as a shop but I imagine quite a few were missed. Hope that helps.
