Allen's Chemist Shop

A Memory of Oadby.

Mr Allen (snr) was my grandpa. As a child in the 60s, the shop was a magical place.
When this photo was taken, the shop was the second one from the corner of Chapel Street (walking towards the church). There was a antique shop on the corner when I first remember it. Later the chemist shop was extended and took over the corner premises. I too remember learning to swim at Oadby pool. I also remember Ellsons bread : )
