Comment: A music shop of the oldest order in Winchester. Firstly in the late 1800s just below the Westgate, then at 46 High Street, after which in the square under the Butter Cross. They ended up in a small premises in a side street where after a fire in the 1960s they were merged into Whitwams. Dave Chaffey worked there first. The record bag example was used by many retailers in the 1960s.

Comment: I bought my first single in Teague & King (Donna by 10CC) when it was in Little Minster Street, Winchester. It was mainly a musical instrument shop, but did have a record department.
