CAIRD'S IN REFORM STREET - 1960'S

Although I can remember visiting Caird's in Reform Street in the 60's, I don't recall being in this ladies department above. There's a chance I may have been dragged around it as a nipper with my mum I suppose but there wouldn't have been anything there that would have interested me!
I do have memories of the boys/gents department, although I must admit it wasn't very inspirational - it was more sensible kind of clothing than trendy and also they supplied school outfits. I do remember getting what was called a car coat from Cairds, complete with furry collar.
The picture was taken in November 1960.

  1. It's amazing how basic the shop fittings were back then. Can't remember being in there though.

  2. I REMEMBER GOING INTO CAIRDS WHEN I WAS YOUNG.IT WAS A VERY STUFFY OLD PLACE, BUT THE HIGHLIGHT FOR ME WAS THE TOY SECTION , WHERE I USED TOBUY PLASTIC ANIMALS TO ADD TO MY COLLECTION.
