The wallpaper shop was Walter Metcalfe's and was on the corner of Boldon Lane and Stanley Street. He still has one shop in the town, on Westoe Road, a few yards down from the site of The
Bridges. Mr. M has recently been kicking hell out of the local Council for operating an unfair voucher scheme which sent Council tenants to B&Q for their paint and wallpaper.
