Old Newsagents Shop


A rare colour picture of our old newsagents in Bath, looking at the cards in the window it was around Valentines Day.
The advertising sign was for look and learn, which I think was the first part-work encyclopaedia.
The naughtiest magazine was Titbits, and the right-hand side of the window is full of Corgi toys which would be worth a small fortune if they were kept with the boxes.
Notice the chocolate machine at 6d a bar when there were 240 pence to the pound.
And yes we put the comics and magazine out every morning and took them all down every night.
