It was the go-to clothes shop for teen girls back in the day!
For an entire generation of fashion-conscious young women it was the place where they shopped till they dropped.
The store was the brainchild of English clothing retailer Bernard Lewis, who in the late 1940s opened up a string of fashion outlets called Lewis Separates. In the 1960s, Lewis rebranded the business as Chelsea Girl to reflect the new wave of ladies' styles that were being conjured up by leading designers such as Mary Quant.
Gwynne Williams wrote: "Used go there every Friday after work. Got my pay in a brown pay packet and bought lots of clothes from Chelsea Girl." "During the times of power cuts, we worked with gas lamps hanging from the interiors - wouldn't get away with that nowadays."While everyone had pleasant memories of shopping at Chelsea Girl, a couple of people mentioned a rumour that one of the shops had a lice or flea infestation, and that a "musty smell" often hung in the air.
