Seccombes was a beautiful shop. Very large, and with beautiful displays. The prices were a bit high and I could not afford to buy there. I used to look in the window, but not go in to buy! Seccombes was situated in what is now Sinclairs.
Kate: Thanks Barbara, anyone else remember Seccombes? Did you go in and buy? Or try on some stunning outfit? Let us know.

My sister Iris worked at Seccombes Ladies Gowns as a dress maker not sure what year but think 1955/6, she also worked at Ann Hillaries that was on the corner of the High St & St Johns street, the owner was a Mr Nathan a very nice guy, there is still a ladies shop there today, I believe the prices for ladies dresses etc from both shops were a little heavy, but dress making & alterations were costly operations, not sure how much the various garments costs back in the 50s or what the staff got paid need to ask my sister feel sure she will remember & perhaps also be able to give me more info about the customers that used these two ladies shops.
