Williams Where Else


Recommended Posts

I don't remember a shop called Williams. What kind of stuff did they sell? Was there one in Broad Marsh? Living on Clifton I often used to go through Broad Marsh from its very early days and that name doesn't ring any bells.

Weird coincidence if their catchphrase was "your pounds worth more" because that's about all Broad Marsh consists of these days . No proper shops left. If you haven't been through the place for a few years (and you only go through because no-one stops there) it has a branch of every kind of pound shop.

Pound Store, Pound Stretcher, Pound Land, and to be different there was (maybe still is) a 99p store for people who aren't so well off

Furniture Store (IMMSC) I think there may have been a national chain of them.

That would explain why I don't remember them. A teenager wasn't going to be interested in furniture.

I worked on the Broadmarsh Coop as an electrician when it was built. 1974 it was.

Later it became Alders, Now boarded up.

And for the last couple of years before it was boarded up, it was TK Maxx until they moved to the new Trinity Square disaster
