Cath Jones
(April 26, 2015) I lived in Sandbach till I went to University in 1958 and bought my first records in Cath Jones' shop - 78s by Humphrey Lyttleton and Louis Armstrong! It was a single storey wooden building - lots of sheet music as well as records. I don't remember the "fancy goods." There was another record shop in Sandbach, on High Street, round about 1956 or 1957, but it didn't last very long - I don't have the vaguest idea what it was called. Comment: Ray Astbury
(August 30, 2015) According to the website sandbachwhatson.weebly.com Cath Jones converted her father’s cabinet making shop in Congleton Road into a record shop. It opened in August 1947 and it closed for the last time on the 29 February 2000 exactly 18 months after Cath Jones died. Comment: Ray Astbury
Richard Lees "Have many fond memories from the 60's, of browsing the records while my parents went to the market. Cath always made me welcome (even though I had little money to spend!), and I still have many of the records I did buy." (April 15, 2015).

I lived in Newfield street across the road and me and my best mates , Sandra and Bev Chaddock who lived in the Kings Arms used to get all our records from there.
Catch used to pay is in goods to pick the apples from her trees in her garden. She gave us a kite each one time. She and her husband Wilf used to take us to Bradwall village hall when Wilf and his band were playing.
They were a lovely couple and I have very fond memories of them and my time in Newfield street when I was a child.
I used to be an Astbury too. My Dad was Albert Astbury and my Mum was Rosemary.
