Anybody Remember Wilson Tupholmes

[jauntyone 10]

During the late 60's early 70's I used to work at a store called Wilson Tupholmes. They sold eveything from furniture to gents clothing and were located at Pitsmoor,opposite the old Pitsmoor workingmens club.

 

I worked there as a maintinance person. I worked with a number of people. Chris Goodrich, carpet fitter, Mick Pollard, warehouse, Steve Dunn, Rossann, wages office. These were but a few I can remember.

 

Did anyone else work there, if so do you know whare abouts of the ones mentioned or can you think of anyone else????

 

Thanks

Hello,

 

A few months back, "Texas" and I had a thread going about Pitsmoor and that part of Pitsmoor Road where Tupholmes business was located. We both remembered it but neither of us worked there.

 

I thought we would get a good response from people who shopped there or even worked there, but we got nothing.

 

Hope you have more sucess, because it was an integral part of Pitsmoor life.

 

Regards

My Grandmother had an account there - must have been around 9 or10 yrs

old when I went along with her - loved the place -used to wander around

looking at books and toys - I think there was cafe in the place as well

and it never seemed to be too busy. Remember Shadows records playing

a lot there as well - did they sell records ?

Must have been early sixties.

Hi Chris M

Yes they did have a cafe there, it was situated up on the first floor just through the shoe dept.

 

I can't remember them selling records!!!!

my wife Susan worked in the office there in 1969 and was there for about 8 months until she had a baby. She worked with Patricia Odale, Kathy and Sheila (can't remeber her surname) and there was Kath, Peggy, Joyce.
