I think Melias were predominently a midlands to Yorkshire chain. They had a store in Boston, Lincs, but my relatives in Cambridge had never heard of them.

Some data on where Melias were to be found.

East England hits are limited to Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Norfolk (Lincolnshire is East Midlands)
