I remember getting a He-Man figure from Shephards of Gateshead once, but most of the department stores in that article bring back memories of being bored whilst being dragged around shopping with my Mam at an early age. I used to hate going to Byker - Parrish's is mentioned but there used to be another one across Shields Road named Beavans which was equally as boring. Hamleys was always a decent experience though.
