Situated on Adam and Eve Street, Market Harborough. No doubt, if an officious bystander were to ask where these names originated most people would say in the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament, and perhaps one would add, they were the first human beings. Then one may legitimately ask but who came first, Adam or Eve? Similar to the chicken and egg conundrum. The most sensible response is to say, Adam and Eve in Hebrew mean Mr Man and Mrs Life, thus, they are symbolic names representing both the first human beings and every human being. After scratching one's head, because one is a little perplexed

If you want quality goods, this is where you come. I bought some excellent leather driving gloves. We had good service. They watched us and came forward when we needed help. They are a bit expensive but I know my gloves will serve me well.
