Now Gillmark Maps, Parliament Square. I once had a girlfriend who worked there and remember drinking coffee in the back office. The then manager can still be regularly spotted in the town (his name escapes me for the moment).

Am I right in remembering a bookshop where Oddbins now is as well?

That was the best book shop in the world, ever!

The Bookworm was brilliant, as a little girl it fascinated me, espcially as it was a shop with an upstairs and only a few had that, The Toy Centre was another that did!.
There was one where Oddbins now is, that was after it was a greengrocers.

Aaaaah - The Toy Centre!! I was in the Toy Centre at the age of about 11, looking through the box of those squidgy monster things that you could put on the end of your pencils and a horrible older fat boy told me that one of the monsters looked like me, so I replied that one of them looked like him. He and his ugly friend followed me outside and up the road. Eventually he punched me in the face from behind, giving me a right bleeding nose. If I saw him today I'd give him one back - maybe two [;)]
