The High Street

Last night was the last episode of Turn Back Time - The High Street, bringing the series up to the 1970s, due to working commitments I was unable to take any photographs of that era. I also missed the Jubilee party which had to be held indoors due to the rainy weather.  It was really interesting that the shopkeepers from Sergions were bored as the shop had turned into a supermarket, they missed the day to day contact with people and the customers missed the personal contact. I liked the record shop which took me back to my youth.  It was a very enjoyable series, a book has been written on shopping in Britain during the past 100 years, I hope to get the book.

  1. We watched it too - brought back memories of when I worked in a record department of WH Smith - memories I still laugh about.
