I noticed that the ‘FALCONER. CHEMIST & DRUGGIST’ sign is pictured on the google street view, dated May 2017.

I remember Falconer’s chemists from when I was a pupil at St. George’s Secondary Modern school in Margaret Street. It had a large sign in the window advertising “Durex”, which was amusing to us pre-pubescent lads at a Catholic school.

There’s another interesting ones up Heslington Road, directly opposite the One Stop shop on the first floor is a faded sign for ‘Charlie’s Games’ with hand-painted Sonic the Hedgehog barely visible – don’t know it’s history but it brings back nostalgic memories of games on floppy disk, cartridges and the Teletext Digitiser pages. Nice ‘John Smith’s Magnet Ales’ sign on the corner of Apollo street just across the road too!

I remember a Tip-Top being in Halifax in the early 1980’s, the one there was a bit like Superdrug.
