Say the name Hudson’s to anyone of a certain age in the town and they’ll have fond memories of the music business and record shop that was a fixture of the town centre for over 100 years.
To mark the achievement, we’ve had a dig through our archives to bring you these great images of the much-missed Hudson’s – and the people that worked there – over the years.
