A load of photos appeared on the local FB group recently...
This was my nearest LBS as I remember it... the bottom Smalley's
bicycles and prams... what a combination![Okay :okay: :okay:](/styles/default/xenforo/smls/okay.gif)
This is a very old photo of the same shop...
...when they had apostrophes![Roll eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](/styles/default/xenforo/smls/rolleyes.gif)
Smalley's was a little local chain. They also had a shop at the top of town:
with a proper shop keeper...
...who'd spend ages rummaging through those shelves of bits and bobs trying to find the cotter pins.
It's now a branch of Leisure Lakes.![Blush :blush: :blush:](/styles/default/xenforo/smls/blush.gif)
And this is their Morecambe shop.
with another proper shop keeper... although he could have done a better job fitting the mudguard on that little trike.
I wonder what year that was taken?![Whistle :whistle: :whistle:](/styles/default/xenforo/smls/whistling.gif)
It amazes me that the bottom Smalley's (1st photo) is still going as a Smalley's, and the Morecambe shop (no longer a Smalley's) still sells bikes![Smile :smile: :smile:](/styles/default/xenforo/smls/smile.gif)
