Hi I am the current tenant in Ryles, we have had the building for seven years. I have heard hundreds of stories about the building. Various ladies coming in having either worked here, and lots reminising of what they bought here over the years. Particulary the staircase brings back lots of memories for lots of people. The building is 82 Park View and we currently have it as Blueberry Square a furniture and gift shop, and previously we had our bathroom shop Domani Bathrooms here. The original department store was larger than our section. it combined what is now Clarks and Newcastle building societyand Rooks sawyer and Mathews. The whole block is called Ryles Buildings and is owned by the same landlord. I would also love to see any photos of the old building. I have asked lots of people who mention it.
