C&A on Corporation Street. Remember being stuck on buses in the snow? Soaking wet floor, steamed up windows, smoke clinging to your clothes if you sat on the top deck? Plenty of time to view the items for sale in the C&A windows!! Viv.

I never gave a thought to were their clothes were made Viv, but I loved them. As you say most people shopped there. All ages were catered for. As wages were low in those days, most people could afford C&A clothes. Their mens shirts always had CANDA on the labels in the back of the collar. I must have been a bit slow because I never realized the it was a C and A until sometime later. I had a moss green crimplene suit from there when they were all the fashion. Also two lovely coats, one in cherry red wool with an attached red scarf with a white fringe, and a short white duffle coat, with a beautiful red lining, I always wore this when I went to the Ice rink, and I felt like the bees knees in it. There were coats there for all ages, and does anyone remember the coat style called the Swagger? or the Duster coat? Oh such happy memories.
