The Local Shop
Well it has to be at least for us, Willabys, if that is spelt right, we would get our fix of kett there, let me think, two a penny sweets, and that was when a penny was a penny, if you know what I mean. You could get this silver tray filled with this hard boiled candy with a stick in it, golden cup I think it was called, they also did a red one but I don't have a flavour, maybe you know? I do remember the price of a Marathon, sixpence, Tudor crisps, Jubilees, sports mixtures, I know you can still get them but in name only, they are not the same but what is, we've got sugar free sugar now. Eh.

RE: RE: The Local Shop
Hello, can anyone help please. I am currently researching my late father's movements during the Second World War and I have found a group Army photograph with the name and address of "A WAKELIN, PHOTOGRAPHIC DEALER, HIGH STREET STUDIO, WILLINGTON". Does this place still exist? Does anyone know if there is or was an army training camp in the vicinity of Willington?
