This was my great uncle Howard's shop for many years in Horbury near Wakefield. I remember he did the markets too in the late eighties. Huddersfield, Leeds etc. I lost touch in the nineties So I don't know what happened to it. Does anyone here remember it?

It's like An episode of ITV's 'long lost family'.
