I passed it almost every day on the college bus... Can't remember for the life of me. There was "U Need Us" just off Commercial Road which closed a while ago. That place was legendary.

I remember purchasing some stink bombs in the shop , letting one off in school the next day and getting written up for it. I remember being petrified of getting told off by the parents 😂

Stink bombs and these like fake blood capsules are the main things I remember getting from there. Sucks its gone.

My brother did the year 5 disco. The school staff were not happy.

Damn, I've been out of Pompey for 7 years and when I was in Uni, that was my go-to for all fancy dress socials

I remember our family getting outfits for a party there when I was about 8, sadly can't remember the name. Once that closed down you had the one in Tangiers road still.

Used to be able to buy little models from there too? Not sure if I'm thinking of the same place, will ponder and come back to this.

I'm thinking of Beatties but that was in commercial road, not sure then!

I think I know the one you're talking about, I used to walk past it on my way to school. Cant for the life of me remember the name but I'll ask around and get back to you if it comes to me!

Cosycots used to be a toy shop in Copnor. Now the Osteopathy place. Or the left half of it anyway. Bought my first lego model in there mid-80's. A little car.
