| Busby's Store, a large department store. It was here in the 1950s that the real Santa Claus had his rather splendid grotto (in the long service corridor at the back). Other stores only had one of his helpers pretending to be him. |

It's reassuring to see that in print; especially after the long time spent queuing in Hallfield Road to get to see him. Unusually for Santa, he had a microphone; he asked my age; say "a 5 year old boy" into his microphone; and a present would drop down his chimney . . . what a coincidence! His grotto conveniently led into the toy department. The military head-wear depicted in the Busby branding was in fact a Bearskin; a Busby was a far smaller item. |
