Hett's Sweet Shop


Hett's Sweet Shop was next to the Hippodrome Cinema on Clarendon Street.

It was situated where Borough Arcade now cuts through.

The Hippodrome closed in the 1960s and was re-opened by Morecambe & Wise as a Supermarket.

    I don't remember this one... I wonder if it's the same 'Hetts' that have a fishing tackle shop on Market street?
