High Street

I can remember being taken shopping in the High Street, to Sainsbury's before it was a supermarket. There were tiled floors and walls, wooden counters with cheeses, cold meats and bacon, and the assistants wore their hair in nets or hats. There were seats for the elderly customers and nothing was ready-packaged.

RE: RE: High Street

My sister and I also remember the old Sainsburys : especially the wooden floors and the lovely smell of bacon ... if you contact them they have two really lovely photos of the old shop - one of the exterior and one taken inside.
