In the early 60's I'm almost sure it was called Grahams.

it was definitely grandfare i remember goin there when i was a kid

The shop was built in 1959 for Owen Owen, the drawing below is from the opening advert (they probably used a drawing because the building wasn't complete when the advert was prepared).

T.J.Hughes was, at this time, owned by Owen Owen and at some time in the 1960s it was re-branded as a T.J.Hughes store (this was sometime before 1968).

The shop closed when the precinct opened in 1975 and after this the building had several occupiers on short term leases. until it was demolished.

If we are talking about t j hughes (where Iceland is now)

Yea Y.T.S I remember it well £29.50 for a full weeks work then going out to Reflections (Central Hotel) and the Jimmys to spend it all.Them were the days (not a care in the world!) lol.
