I loved the steps you speak of down from Arundel Street, as I did the Adelphi sadly I was to young to enter the premises but I do remember the newsagent on Tudor Street, it was here that most young lads of my age always hovered looking at the window display, looking for strategically place copies of **** & Span etc, , for our younger readers **** & Span was a girlie magazine of the time, full of nudes.
