Walking past today I noticed that you could see a feint outline of the word 'Sopers' - and this was once Sopers Bazaar or Emporium.
Samuel Henry Soper had his linen draper business here from c. 1860. The corner was known as Soper's Corner.
Soper’s Bazaar, North Street
The corner of North Street leading into Western Road.This building has now been renovated by Metro Bank.
