I wish hats were as popular as they used to be. I have an original 1940s hat and I absolutely love wearing it at forties events.

My first girlfriend worked in this shop in 1968 when it was Bradley's I worked opposite in peter pells . At break time we would message each other by writing backwards on the windows..

I believe ELLORS and BON MARCHE all belonged to the RANICAR family who had shops in their name.
