It was a bit like an early Dunelm Mill with all the soft furnishings to style a 1980s home. It was on Cherry Tree Road next to the former Hypermarket (where Asda is now) and opened in 1982 with a keen investment of £500k.
It quickly became a one-stop shop for wallpaper, curtains and bedding and sold all the trendy chintzy styles which the 80s is remembered for. But on March 19 1988 shoppers fled a massive blaze.

It continued through the 1990s but closed for good in 2003.
