Butterfields on Market Hill. My mother was looking after a neighbours baby and walked into town pushing the pram. Left the pram and baby outside while she went in to buy some material. She left the shop, caught the bus and some time later remembered she had left the baby outside Butterfields. She hurried back and the baby was still there, still asleep.
