Comments about this page

I remember this as Boots. You could go to the store room on the top floor in the public lift, and I did so once as a child for a dare and was confronted by a shop assistant who told me off. I also remember how old fashioned and ornate the staircase railings were, which you could still access when it was Virgin records. I guess they are still there now, but will never be seen by the public again unless a new two storey store opens. Makes me wonder how many other similar old gems are hidden away at the back or the basements of shops out of public view.
