Thanks, Rosie, I'll take a look!

I probably am. Glad it wasn't demolished.

I remember the loggia (if that's the right word), the long stone building. Was it simply knocked down? I suppose it must have been.

For some reason, these sweets came into my mind yesterday. But I can't remember what they were like - soft, I suppose.

I think the Bristol Lewis's had a roof garden.

There's something interesting about them - I suppose they're a bit mysterious. There are some in Reading.

I think there was a shop at the lower end of Belchers Lane that had the sort of window that is thrust forward with a gap and then another similar window - it's hard to describe, but there's a space between two windows that you can go into.

I like that style of shop window. It probably has a name.

It's really interesting, like the previous one.

I was going to ask what the building site was.

I also remember the smell of the biscuits in large open tins.

Coffee beans! The food hall seemed to have unusual things.

It was such an interesting building inside, the way everything joined up and you could suddenly be in another department you hadn't quite known was there! Also all the coffee bars in various places.

Someone told me that at Easter there used to be chicks on the roof garden. Pet's corner must have been really big if they had that many birds as well as other animals. I wonder if any othere Lewis's had a pet's corner. I know the Bristol branch had a roof garden. Really wish I could remember...

It sounds quite serious. It disappeared before my time.

I know I was taken to the roof garden but can't remember it, so perhaps I was taken to pet's corner as well. I wonder who looked after the animals. Do you know when it stopped being there?

I remember the children's hairdressing department very vaguely, but not pet's corner, which sounds nice.

My school also had had a cadet corps, but it didn't exist by the time I went there. I wonder what happened to the uniforms and equipment.

Zeph Gladstone, who played Vera Downend, turned up in an episode of Public Eye (I was given the set of DVDs recently). I recognised her and her name in the credits, but can't remember anything about the character. Vera is one of those old-fashioned names that hasn't come around again yet. We...
