I seem to remember a large haberdashery type store called Scarr's on Kirkgate.Scarr's were hardware shops, always had that characteristic smell of Carbolic and mothballs.

Yes it did have a distinctive smell and, for some reason as a kid, it was a shop I never liked going into. Perhaps, being a kid, it had something to do with the soap!
