Bought several cheesecloth tops, crushed velvet and tie dyed tops from Oasis. Can still smell the patchouli ......... ! Is Oasis still there? Viv.
I buy my Jeans from Oasis...Levii's 501s= £15.00,they are seconds but that suits me...also top brand shirts,Wrangler etc...£5.00 upwards.
I have no clear memories, but I associate Henry's with crockery. Wish I could remember Lewis's roof garden!
Oasis....! I bought several nice frocks from there, also a ring made of green glass. It was dark and , er, mysterious. Happy days!
It could be....I've got this (false?) memory of a tiny bridge.
It look terrifically dangerous!
Thank you,
maria.
It does look dangerous too, Maria. Just imagine being a motorist and having a swimsuited glamour girl plastered over your windscreen due to having taken a wrong turn up there!
Yes i remember Oasis it always smelt of burning insents :roll: I loved the clothes i used to like the indian stores cheesecloth shirts and blouses and embroidered tops, velvet trousers, Little coffee shops, record stores, people used to leave them unatended and very often you would have to wait ages for them to return imagine leaving anywhere now there would be nothing left when you came back :cry: Bangles and necklaces very much an Indian theme, lots of faded denim, yes it was definitely the place to be seen on a Saturday. It is such a pity that there are no photographs of such places to bring back happy memories, i looked for ages the other day for one of the Plaza in Handswoth as it was in the 60s but to no avail. :cry:
I think you're right about Boy George. Is it really still there? Amazing!
