It has been a long time since I have been to Queen Street in Pompey, so I don't know what tailors are still there? I think Baun & Co might still be going, so might be worth popping in to see what they might have? As for Plymouth, I haven't been back since the 1980's..... What is Union Street like these days?

Awful! a near derelict wasteland and total dump! not much different to Queen Street!(where the only tailors now are Bauns and Tailor Lee! Barnards, the fancy one that sold the gucci civvy clothing (I forget the name?) and Shimbarts, are all long gone! So has the tattoo kiosk by the railway crossing at the start of Edinburgh road and Aggie Weston's Royal Sailors Rests, the Home Club is still there, but named the Maritime Club now. In Guzz, the Royal Fleet club has gone and so has Aggies, Diamond lil's and even the two tree's (or twigs as we knew it! The days when both were a run of pubs, naval tailors, tattooists and more pubs, with hoards of matelots, bootneck's and ladies of lesser repute thronging the street, as in the 1970's/early 80's, are regrettably long gone!
