But it brings back happy memories of a lovely shop, because Garbetts comfort corner was my family's shoe shop, my family gave the shop a good title didn't they! it was very popular in Hyde for years and years, that shop had real character, I loved it! It was sad to see it pulled down, even though it was quite an old shop!
