Description:First advert placed in the Evening Despatch by Bradshaws after they announced their closing down sale. The Lee Bank development compulsorily purchased many buildings in the area. The closure of Bradshaws is probably the most noteworthy as it occupied such a big place in the lives of the local residents who furnished their houses from the shop. The shp in many ways was the heart of this local community.
