00:00What do you think was the best ever shot Sheffield ever had?
00:03Call Brothers or John Lewis.
00:06Toss-up between the two, more suspensives.
00:10What do you like about them? What did you like about them?
00:12Well, I like about more suspensives, they were quality goods.
00:16Gone down a bit now, but same for Call Brothers.
00:22If you wanted a tally or anything white, fridge, anything like that,
00:28that would have been a place to go.
00:30Could you tell me please what you think the best ever shot was in Sheffield?
00:34Well, all the good ones have gone, haven't they?
00:37I think slightly less when I were younger.
00:40All the little ones.
00:41Because I could afford most of the stuff that were in it.
00:44And I worked for them, as a sappy girl, for a while.
00:50And of course, Call Brothers.
00:55We used to have a lot of small shops, didn't we?
00:58Especially down Chapel Walk.
01:00There were a leather shop down Chapel Walk, but it was like an handicraft shop.
01:06And I used to go and buy a bag of leather cut-offs.
01:09And I used to make my own handbags.
01:11All those sort of things.
01:13It's desolate down there now, isn't it?
01:15It's what it used to be.
01:16Cairns used to be Cairns Red Collar Shop.
01:19So we like quite a few.
01:21I don't know.
01:23I used to like Bradley's Red Collar Shop.
01:26Because of all its vibrancy.
01:28We used to spend a lot of time in all the Red Collar Shops.
01:32Would you tell me what you think was the best ever shot in Sheffield?
01:37I like a co-op, which is the best one.
01:40Which one, sorry?
01:41A co-op.
01:42Where was that?
01:43In one of the co-ops.
01:45Right.
01:46Yes, the best co-op.
01:47It's a new co-op.
01:50You can see you can buy some stuff.
01:52And what's your favourite thing to buy at the co-op?
01:54Well, I can buy some...
01:56I can buy Guy's Bread.
01:58Or I can buy Frappos.
02:01Or Whippy Fingers.
02:03I dislike pasties.
02:06Would you tell me what you think was the best ever shot in Sheffield?
02:10Red Gates Toy Store.
02:13What did you like about Red Gates?
02:15Oh, you had every toy you could imagine.
02:18Under one roof.
02:19It was that big.
02:21Was there anything that you remember buying there particularly?
02:23Yeah, the whole street.
02:27We had some street lights.
02:30They were really good.
02:32And cars and everything.
02:35Would you tell me what you think was the best ever shot in Sheffield?
02:38Well, there were many.
02:39Vultures, Cochains, Coal Brothers.
02:43What did they have that was so good?
02:45Well, just the wide range.
02:46Everything.
02:47You could get everything you wanted.
02:49From cookware to clothes.
02:51Even furniture.
