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?
Ere mate, that Beavan's was pures where Gary Etheridge electrical cowie shop is now. Ladgeful.
