More about this scene

Spilsby Rural District Council is stating its presence – see the concrete sign (left foreground). The store is also advertising its wares. There could even have been some Frith postcards in the rack; among many other things for sale are ice cream, Coca Cola, pork pies from Pork Farms of Nottingham, Kodak films, cigarettes, newspapers and Ilford films.

The store with the petrol pumps in this photograph was owned from at leat the early 1950s to the late 70's by a couple, originally from Leicester, called Bob and Grace Harrison. In the season, opening hours were around 6am to 11pm, and the store sold just about everything.
