More about this scene

There were to be three types of shopping: the open-air market, a variety of shops on three sides, and a first-floor row of shops that did not need a window display, such as hairdressers, opticians, photographers, and a restaurant overlooking the market, with bridges, stairs and terraces between.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

We used to buy our Latton Bush uniforms from Bernards which was on the ground floor of the building which can be seen behind the steps, facing into the market square. The shop was owned by the Cocklins whose daughter went to Latton Bush. She left to go to stage school, and became known as Cheryl St Clair, and married Michael Barrymore!!!
I can remember the fresh clean smell of linen from Burgesses dress shop and the smell of wallpaper coming from Clarks, the painting and decorating shop and the bar of chocolate that had pictures of four boys' faces on and came out of the sweetshop there called Fourbouys.
