I can close my eyes and see it to this day It might not seem much in this materiel world but in my day things like this meant more than they seem to do today.
Just on the town side of the Swan junction (left) was a large wallpaper shop which stood alone after most of the buildings around it had been demolished . don' remember its name but it stood on its own for many years.
Hi hicklingmick and jcd I remember a wallpaper shop but cant remember its name.The 45rpm records were a lot easier to store the old 78rpms in the fiftys when i used to buy them were very brittle thats in the rock and roll days. Later they made them with plastici.still have quite a few from that time Elvis Bill Haley Little Richard ect good times.
