David Frasi… Photographs of the Castle Street Milletts, window dressing was done by Roy Hale who used to travel down by train from Ealing (the HO was based there) several times a year, sadly passed away in the 80’s. He was a wonderful signwriter, doing all the price point tickets with a paint brush! Into the 80’s the name changed from ‘Milletts’ ( after Peter Millett died and his sons Nigel and Trevor took over and expanded the family business) to ‘Cheapjacks’ then to just CJ’s. I would date the black and white ones around 1974/75, colour ones a couple of years later.
Franky Appleman… Great shop
Dennis Torrance… Got most of my clothes there in the 70s
Merv Kennard… My brother worked in there for a couple of years at weekends, and the manager Dave used to give me staff discount.
Stephen Moran… I bought my first pair of Levi’s in there. They were £3/2/6!
Nigel Kennard… I worked there at weekends in the mid 1970’s with Roger Barton and Peter (?), and the manager Mick. Dave joined later on and we had some great laughs during quiet days in the week. Joined full time for a year after leaving school and before the civil service caught me.
