Worthing Street also ran accross the top of Tarring street. In the 50s I remember a baby linnen /childrens clothing shop, the bay window had a display of clothes they were selling. I remember my mam buying white ankle socks for me – can anyone remember the shop and the name of it? I do hope Stockton can put a bit of heart back into this area.
