only_me   11 #13 Posted August 20, 2010 My mum was the first in the one on Heeley Bottom. She was given scissors to cut the ribbon, and Sammy Brook Bond the chimp was there, my mum let an almighty scream out and ran scaring the poor beast half to death, Imagine trying to bring a chimp amongst the public now  Out of intrest i wonder what year that was? There was a big clothes shop called fine ware further up towards queens road was this part of the fine fare group? This was later an Howells solicitors but im not sure if its still there.
