Jane Caldow – Shanklin and Bembridge branches

Simon: Do you know if the other part of the business had other shops elsewhere?

Jane: There were other shops yes, because later they then had Shanklin. There was also a small business in Bembridge which I remember going to as a child, and as you go into Bembridge where the Lloyd’s Bank used to be it’s an actual row of shops opposite where Boots and Fox’s the Restaurant is. It was an actual row of shops opposite there.

That was the Bembridge business, and I said the Shanklin was a big premises which I know we’ve got a photo of, and then in Ryde they then expanded into the Jaeger Boutique what was in Union Street.

That was 24F Union Street and then Miss Pack, the Boutique up the High Street, which was all the young fashion, and that was where Watson Bull & Porter the Estate Agents is now.
