The 1980s pound shop run by kemat singh
During the late 1950’s and early 1960’s there was a gents tailors situated between the Globe cinema and Bishopton Lane. That could well have been Jacksons the Tailors.
Hepworths was, if my memory is correct, was in the High Street opposite the Town Hall near the junction with Dovecot Street and I have a feeling that a branch of Montague Burton was located in the High Street near to Wellington Street.
As I left Stockton in 1963 I will admit that my memory of what was there in the High Street is not as good as it should be considering that I spent just over a year working in William Timpsons shoe shop in Dovecote Street.
This shop used to be Jacksons the tailors where you could get your made to measure suits. I would have thought it was in the High Street next to the North Eastern pub later the Mulberry Tree.
