Years later Sainsburys stood on the site next to the Dog & Partridge - my sister worked there in the sixties ;)

Dead opposite is a small road (Name?) still there.

Upstairs on the right was tha ABC clothes warehouse.

Mum would take me there, and you could look down to the tunnel where

you could briefly see stam trains enter and leave Vic Station.

Yes London Scientific exchange, I still got a pair of bins from there.

There was also a Scientific Exchange type store off Bentick Road, Palin St?

LSE used to sell those amazing Russian transistor radios with more wavebands than you could shake a stick at. They must have issued them to their spies for receiving messages from the Kremlin.

I'm pretty sure LSE moved to Palin Street in the early 1980s.

N0, there was an electronics shop on both sides of Palin Street in the 60's.

I am sure it had a name like Scientific Exchange?

There was also the Valve Shop on Radford Road (might still be there?)

Nottingham Scientific Exchange was on Peveril Street off Alfreton Road. Had a shop on each side of the road. One specialised in electrical bits and bobs (both the common and the unusual) the other in tools of all types. The owner, whose name I cannot recall, also had many flats in various parts of the City. Had one for about a year on Lucknow Drive, Mapperley Park in 1965. (met my wife at a party we had there)

The photo was taken from very near the corner of Clinton St (East) where the D&P still stands.

sorry Bamber it should have said "OLD" Dog and Partridge.The caption reads Lower Parliament st 1959 looking towards the (now) Victoria Centre The Original Dog and Partridge pub glared across the road at the Old Dog and Partridge
