Jane Gibbs – There were high standards

I actually lived, oh in the early ‘80s, behind Miss Packs and often used to pop in. I can’t remember I mean to me now it wasn’t expensive but it was in the days of Dorothy Perkins I’m guessing and Etams and all those other stores that were a lot cheaper but I’m sure I did buy a dress once in Miss Packs but then it would be something special. And the same goes for Pack and Cullifords.

Yeah it was right next to where Barclay’s Bank was ‘cos that’s gone now as well, and it was right on that corner. Not huge, but it was a lovely little building and they used to have ‘one offs’ if I remember so if ever you went in there, if you were buying something and wearing it for a special occasion, there wouldn’t be anyone else wearing that so … I can’t remember who worked there then but yeah, it was lovely, really nice, popular as well.
