SecretLeeds - History, culture and architecture in Leeds

Hello. Could anyone tell the name of a clothing/ accessories hippy type head shop that started near leeds university and moved to the city center i think it was king edward street in the 90s just round the corner from boodle am....if anyone could help it would be appreciated.

Paraphenalia was a hippie type shop up near the uni when I was a kid in the 80s - wasn't aware it moved to the city centre though, so perhaps not the one you're thinking of.

Hi ghi,

Boodle Am ?

Hi guys.thanks for the replies its not boodle am as that was round the coner from the shop in victoria center but i think it could be paraphnalia as i thought that may be it but wasnt sure.you know what they say "it can affect your memory" .Thanks again

If I remember correctly, which is not always the case, before the shop was called Paraphenalia, it was called Danby's. That would be in the 70's.
