"The tobacconists shop"

Would that be Ashton's, on Wallgate?

There was also a really good stationers ont tuther side ut street.

Ena:

Late reply, I know, but yes, that was Ashton's tobacconists, and the stationers across the road was Starr's. I used to buy my fountain pens there, the ones with ink cartridges and, at Christmas, we'd buy two packs of crepe paper, one red and one green, to make our own chain garlands to hang up.

There was also Wilding's, but I can't remember where they were.
