00:00What do you think was the best ever shot Sheffield ever had?

00:03Call Brothers or John Lewis.

00:06Toss-up between the two, more suspensives.

00:10What do you like about them? What did you like about them?

00:12Well, I like about more suspensives, they were quality goods.

00:16Gone down a bit now, but same for Call Brothers.

00:22If you wanted a tally or anything white, fridge, anything like that,

00:28that would have been a place to go.

00:30Could you tell me please what you think the best ever shot was in Sheffield?

00:34Well, all the good ones have gone, haven't they?

00:37I think slightly less when I were younger.

00:40All the little ones.

00:41Because I could afford most of the stuff that were in it.

00:44And I worked for them, as a sappy girl, for a while.

00:50And of course, Call Brothers.

00:55We used to have a lot of small shops, didn't we?

00:58Especially down Chapel Walk.

01:00There were a leather shop down Chapel Walk, but it was like an handicraft shop.

01:06And I used to go and buy a bag of leather cut-offs.

01:09And I used to make my own handbags.

01:11All those sort of things.

01:13It's desolate down there now, isn't it?

01:15It's what it used to be.

01:16Cairns used to be Cairns Red Collar Shop.

01:19So we like quite a few.

01:21I don't know.

01:23I used to like Bradley's Red Collar Shop.

01:26Because of all its vibrancy.

01:28We used to spend a lot of time in all the Red Collar Shops.

01:32Would you tell me what you think was the best ever shot in Sheffield?

01:37I like a co-op, which is the best one.

01:40Which one, sorry?

01:41A co-op.

01:42Where was that?

01:43In one of the co-ops.

01:45Right.

01:46Yes, the best co-op.

01:47It's a new co-op.

01:50You can see you can buy some stuff.

01:52And what's your favourite thing to buy at the co-op?

01:54Well, I can buy some...

01:56I can buy Guy's Bread.

01:58Or I can buy Frappos.

02:01Or Whippy Fingers.

02:03I dislike pasties.

02:06Would you tell me what you think was the best ever shot in Sheffield?

02:10Red Gates Toy Store.

02:13What did you like about Red Gates?

02:15Oh, you had every toy you could imagine.

02:18Under one roof.

02:19It was that big.

02:21Was there anything that you remember buying there particularly?

02:23Yeah, the whole street.

02:27We had some street lights.

02:30They were really good.

02:32And cars and everything.

02:35Would you tell me what you think was the best ever shot in Sheffield?

02:38Well, there were many.

02:39Vultures, Cochains, Coal Brothers.

02:43What did they have that was so good?

02:45Well, just the wide range.

02:46Everything.

02:47You could get everything you wanted.

02:49From cookware to clothes.

02:51Even furniture.
