Lovely thread for us long term residents.
I remember the old indoor market in the Market Square before it moved into the haberdashery? building for a short period.
The grocery shop, I think it was called Vines, which was near M&S.
Tesco Home and Wear in Pencester provided many pairs of cheap school trousers for my son.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

Tesco food shop was in Cannon st nr the church yard.Next to that would have been the Wellington inn,that shut about 1971?,my aunt was the landlady there for a while.When i think of old shops which are still trading in town,Boots,Baileys opticians,MK Shepherds,Turners model shop,maybe others but not many left now.
