It was with great sadness that I read a few weeks ago that The Other Store in Tamworth will no longer be with us after this year. It has been there for over 70 years that I remember, and Lord knows how long before that.
Audrey, Thanks so much for sharing these thoughts. We arrived in Tamworth in 1983 and I recall The Other Store when Anita was the manager , and later when Frank Whitty owned it. For a short while Frank kept a cow in the back yard tied to a tree behind the store . He also created a newsletter about happenings at the store. Katy bought the store from Frank Whitty as I recall, and installed the splendid deck . She made TOS into a beloved venue for everyone and introduced the wonderful Concerts by the River. Thanks Katy for all you have done for this town!
