Eric Pugh is celebrating fifty years at his little electrical shop on the Pavement at the moment, with a window display showing photographs through the years, starting with Eric himself in 1942, a little lad in shorts, standing outside the shop. The Pavement hasn't really changed much since then, though Eric has! (He's a bit taller now, for one thing).
Meanwhile, round at the shop on the corner of Lion Street, opposite Booth's, last occupied by Adela's dress shop, a new sign has gone into the window saying that it will shortly be re-opening as a stationer's and "writing equipment" shop.
And Mike Hobday has been seen in Fleur-de-Lys antique shop. He was one of the founder unit-holders of Broad Street Books, specialising in railway books and models. He hasn't done the models through the shop for a while, but it seems he's moving to larger premises where he can deal in a few more antiques alongside the books. There will be a new unit holder taking his place at Broad Street, who will also be dealing in railway books, as customers have got used to the speciality being there.
