    The Buttonhole was on the first floor menswear department - but it was separate from all the other clothes as it was a trendy boutique.
    It had a wooden framework which made it a separate area, and the fitting room had ranch style swing doors.

    Harold Ian in the 70s used to sell very smart womens clothes too as did Austin Reed in Bold St. Lucinda Byre bottom of Bold St was another classy clothes shop one of the first to have a cafe, Abrams the made to measure tailors top of London Road sold US Ben Shermans before Harold Ian opened. In the 60s there were quite a few "glamour' dress shops around the city including Nanettes by the Forum and a couple near the Odeon.Trendy boutiques also opened in Mount Pleasant and Leece St. Levi's chinos were Aviator and Lee's were KDs (Khaki Drill)
    1966 was the beginning of boutique shops within shops in places like Lewis's and Owen Owen and even T J Hughes in their own way.

    They used to park inside the Station so being on Copperas Hill might have been more for the Adelphi Hotel

    And Nelson Street serving Lime St station too, don`t know how they make a living, they must be lucky to get a fare every couple of hours.
    Must have been alright when only 300 plates were issued.
