The Golden Smog, in Hambleton Yard, arranged a dedication to Topsoft computer shop that was in the yard between 1984 and around 1988-9, when it moved to a larger premises in Ramsgate. The owners were Alec, Kevin, Ian and Shelia Richardson and it had a brilliant staff lead by Steve Williams. It was Stockton’s go to place for computers, software and games, but it was also a place for like-minded people to meet and socialise.
