WE got our lefts and our rights mixed up when looking for Simpsons’ sports shop which was in Darlington’s Post House Wynd from the early 1960s until the late 2000s. It was on the northern side of the wynd, in the premises now occupied by Toni & Guy hairdressers, next to Robin Finnegan’s jewellery shop. “It was on the same side as Hoppers and Richardson’s the jewellers,” says Mike Walker of Middleton St George, one of many who pointed out the mistake. “There was a fish and chip shop on that side, and I remember Simpsons was very close to was a ‘surgical’ shop which for the life of me I can’t remember the name but it’s window had all sorts of supports, socks etc in it.”
