Mr Tucker's Ladies Outfitters
As told by Mrs J Staples.
"I remember working in Mr Tucker's ladies outfitters shop
in North Street. It was a very large busy shop, especially in the
summer and at January sales times and at Christmas with all the
excitement of decorating the store.
There was a large flat above the shop, which was used for staff
rooms at this time. Mr Tucker also owned Susan's the corsetry shop
in Hockliffe Street where my aunt used to work. In those days the
bus stop was outside the shop in North Street, so quite a lot of
ladies could look in the windows, and Susan's shop was situated
on the cross roads, by the traffic lights, also handy for looking
in the windows while the bus was stationary.
Opposite
Mr Tuckers shop was Buckmasters coach garage, where people used
to wait to catch the coaches for seaside outings, theatre trips
etc. (where Stirling Discount is now)."
