They had a cash n carry over in North Shields back in the day. My brother worked there in the warehouse, and I kitted out my first flat with beds, TV, Washing machine, and all my bedding and small kitchen appliances and crockery. And I gave my brother the cash to pay for it, so I could get the 20% staff discount, and it was all delivered the next day.
@@kenpie474I was really young when it was Shephards, but I remember when it became Tesco Shopping City, and they kept the cafe going. Good views across the Tyne valley from there.
There used to be a great butchers on Sunderland road that made their own delish sausages, can't remember the name, but the pork and leek sausages were lovely. There was a bakers next door as well, and they made lovely ham and egg pie, and fruit pies too.
Ward Watsons next to the Trafalgar Pub on the old Trinity Square, it was great for cheap tatty toys that broke straight away. I loved the place.
I remember it well, also the cafe on the top floor of Shepherds "the shepherds pie"😊

Day's of our lives 😁
I’m totally in love with Mary Watson. She’s so sweet with her notepaper ❤️
I can remember the Red Stamp Store on Sunderland Road.

No-one mentioned the toy shop, I got allof my dinky toys there.
The toy shop was caleed Martins. I went to school with the daughter Joyce to Shipcote in the 50s
