It's a fair cop.

In Boston Court, George Ruthen aged 62, no fixed abode, cheerfully pleaded guilty when he was charged with being a suspected person and frequenting Strait Bargate with intent to committing a felony on the night of September 12th. 1921.
P.C. Rylott, giving evidence, stated that at 11.30 pm he was on duty in the Market Place, and saw the prisoner go across the road and try Loveley's door. He ran from there to a boot shop next to the Scala cinema and then went across to Harwood's the ironmonger's and tried that door. He then went to the Star Tea Co.'s shop in Strait Bargate and tried to break the lock. The constable got up to him and asked him what he was doing.  He said he meant to get in. He looked at the window and said, "I see it's Co-op, I thought it was a jeweller's."
He was taken to the Police station and charged, He said, "It's quite alright. You know what I have done, and what I intended to do."
The prisoner asked no questions and had nothing to say in reference to the charge. "All I wish is to go to the Assize's. " he said.
The Clerk of the court replied, "It is extremely likely you won't have any choice in the matter."
George said "It is a matter of indifference to me, sir."
The court passed sentence of three months hard labour.

Old shop in Market Place

This Shop stood in the Market Place where the present Lloyd’s TSB bank is now.

It was once Nunnelly’s China Tea Stores and when it was built the staircase was left out by mistake which was considered to be a great joke at the time.

Later it became a high class drapers (known in the old days as a silk mercer’s) occupied by Messrs. Pack, Palethorpe and Clayton and was looked on as one of the best shops in the town. Mr. Garfit bought the premises and built his bank on the site and Lloyd’s bank eventually became the owners.
