I think it might be St James's Street on the right-hand side going up, it's a bakery shop. Have a feeling it was later a Giggins shop.

Clearly a baker's shop. Feel certain I'd have purchased an iced bun there at times. Wasn't this St. James's Street? I seem to recall a draper shop on the right hand side going up...as this picture suggests. Curious to hear from others.

I think this is 120 St James's St and the drapers is 119. Now the Bombay Mix restaurant.

This is definitely Clark's Bakery at 120, St. James's Street, next door at 118/119 being the Draper's shop of H.R. Harris Ltd. Clark's Bread Co. were a well established Bakery chain, having a large number of branches throughout the area. Their head office was at the Goldstone Bakery, Newtown Road, Hove.

I worked here in the 60s, amongst other Clarke's shops. I worked on a Bank Holiday at the height of the mods and rockers invasion. I was sent with a tray of sausage rolls to the Clark's corner of New Road, they had run out. Funnily enough, so had I, as I walked up North Street! Suddenly I was surrounded by mods and police. A policeman had his helmet knocked off. As a young sixteen year old, I have to say, it was a frightening experience.

I remember this Clark's shop; my friend's mother use to work there, her name was Connie Marchant. If I remember rightly, next door on the corner was an undertakers. I think it was on the corner of Manchester Street. Sandra is right, there was a drapers shop next door.

This picture is of Clark's the bakers on the corner of Manchester street. My mother was manageress there in the 1930s. One of the many stories she has told me relating to the shop was of Max Miller. He would come in on a Saturday morning and buy two bath buns for him and his wife. He would then proceed to tell the most rude joke he could come up with just to watch the girls blush! One other story was that the area manager would travel around the town to check that the window displays were not cleared away before the shop shut at 7pm! If any trays were found to be removed early wages were docked that week! How times have changed!

I remember this row of shops in St James's Street, the drapers next door to Clark's was Harris's and there was also Chapman's the Butchers there too.
