Very interesting ,thank you Brian. In 1960/1961 I started work at Lewis's department sore in Humberston Gate Leicester. One of my first departments to work n was the book and magazine section which was in the basement. I worked for a lady called Miss Lucy Eaglesfield who would have been about sixty years old at the time, I do not know what became of her but your story brought back some memories. Mike

Hi Mike I would have been in Lewis's often when you were working there. My bus dropped us in Humberstone Gate and I always went straight into Lewis's first to start a shopping afternoon, also visiting several other shops and often the market too. Maybe your Lucy Eaglesfield was related to the people mentioned in the letters.

Hi Jan My wifes first job was at Lewis's in the shoe department Just round the corner from Timothy Whites where one of my brothers first worked, also close to Bree's on Churchgate where a sister worked Now I wonder if anyone can help stir my fading memory We have been trying to remember what shops were down the Gallowtree Gate on the Market side in the 1960's & 70's ?
