Colin. Maybe your Yard overalls came from there, or did the Yard have its own shop for that sort of thing? Not only chairs are missing, at my age I could certainly do with one, but no hats. And of course, all the stock is available on hangers so you help yourself- but can you find an assistant! I suspect that in those days, staff were on commission- a bit like Grace Brothers? Of course we didn't realise it at the time, just that they were very helpful. I was always mystified by the drapers measuring cloth by the yard at " one ( or two ) & eleven three"!
