High Street
A Memory of Ashford.
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.

My Grandfather and father owned and ran GV Crump at the top of the lower High St. I think the other one was Vye & Co. Both were what we would now call delicatessans, but then were called 'provisions merchants' and sold their own brands of all sorts of foodstuffs, packaged on the premises.
