Nairns Sweet Shop

A Memory of Wem.

My Nan and Grandad (Mabel & Dave Nairn) owned the sweet shop on the left of this picture. The vehicle on the left would be in front of it. I remember the milk machine that stood outside and the grid that the milk machine users would accidently drop their loose change down. I used to do down into the cellar to collect it! As a small boy, I remember waiting for the Salopia coach to take us to the sea side, usually Rhyl. The shop was a main collection point for Wem residents having a day out on the coach.
There was a small number of cottages behind the shop. Access would be gained using the passageway, that still exists, between the sweet shop and the shop that became Wem TV run by Gerald Dakin and Reg.
