The Potter Shop Hall of Fame

Here are my my favourite Carlisle potter shops.  Some long-since closed, some still going strong:
  • Danny's Discount Store - legendary shop, famous for its Pepe jeans with snazzy keyrings;
  • Music Box - still going strong and, actually, a bloody good shop if you're after games and music. But there's no doubting its appearance qualifies it for a place in the potter shop Hall of Fame;
  • Famous Army Stores (FAS) - potterish, simply because of the handful of items that made their way into school uniforms, immediately branding the unfortunate wearer as a potter. I got a pair of British Knights basketball boots from there, in a delightful white, turquoise and black. I loved them and embraced my consolidation in the world of potters;
  • Beavan's Bargain Store - I can't remember where in Carlisle this was but do recall it being a true potter shop. It saddens me that such shops have dwindled with the rise of faceless potter shops, such as Poundland and Poundstretcher. Ladgeful.
Any suggestions for more?
