ferrettkitt Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Army Navy stores / shops that you would recommend visiting As the title says do you have a favourite that you would like more people to visit? I remember the old army navy shops in the high street which have sadly long gone. I remember buying my first pair of monkey boots from the army navy ... good days.

Tony B Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Sabre Sales Portsmouth. Anywhere else has to measure up to them. We used to have a place called Jeff Le Marquands, all large packs as school bags and wooly pulleys and lightweights came from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RattlesnakeBob Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Fond memories of 2 that have long gone.... .Woods Army and Navy Stores in Westgate Street Gloucester (not 'the famous army and navy stores ) ...a fantastic old shop ....closed by the middle 1980s.... ...but the best was one local to me in the Forest of Dean.... ..Jackies Roberts's dump...!! This old fella was a proper old fashioned dealer who would buy and sell absolutely anything and had his premises in a disused colliery baths just down the road from where I grew up.. .....Combat trousers at £1.00 a pair........Officers Jackets (various Regiments complete with tassles and braids and shiny buttons etc) about £2.00.....standard black boots £1.50 a pair.....kharki tank suits £2.00 (good to use as overalls for work)....you name it ........it was in Jackies Roberts 'Dump'...........
