Monkey Business


This is Charlie the Chimp, and he has been an attraction at Gordon Scott's shoe shop in the Broad Marsh shopping centre for over 30 years. There was some worry about him recently, as he had been missing from the shop window for some time. Apparently he had been away to be renovated, as spending years and years doing flips, had taken its toll on his workings.

  1. Yes, I was going to say that he looks good for 30!

    Awww, I well remember Charlie from my childhood. Good to see somethings never change, even if they are destroying the square!

    Charlie used to visit Gordon Scotts in Watford, Northampton and Solihull. The original window animation was a clown - Tony
