I used to get so excited when the first advert for Santas Grotto at Edwin Jones appeared in the Echo when I was a kid!
I do remember Veron and Tear along with Cadena Cafe, Home and Colonial, and MacFisheries.
There used to be one down near Kingsland Square (Frasiers??) which had one of those overhead tube systems where the assistant would put money in a little canister , pop it in the tube where it would sucked up and delivered to another part of the store. Always fascinated me as a kid. It was a real-life Grace Brothers!!
