THIS is a famous Bolton store that many of our readers will, hopefully, recall but will be a mystery to others.
It was, in fact, one of Bolton's best known fashion shops for more than 80 years called Richard Moyse Limited based in Crompton House in Bradshawgate.
The shop closed down in 1960 with the roomy premises and extensive workrooms on the upper floors sold to another firm which was John Willie (Furnishers) Ltd.
This store, on the corner of Great Moor Street and Bradshawgate had, at one time, mkore than 60 employees including shop assistants, dressmakers and milliners.
It looks a fine store judging by the incredible window displays and large notices advertising furs, dresses and mantles.
There appear to be hats in one window as well as dresses and what looks to be children's outfits in another.
Sadly we do not know the date of this photograph.
Do you remember the store and what it sold? We would love to hear from you.
