More about this scene

Caption for Eastleigh, Market Street c1960: This is a slightly later view than E167001. Baker's is still on the comer. On the opposite comer is Smith Bradbeer & Co Ltd, a well-supported local general clothing and furniture store. Note that one of the cinemas, the Picture House, has given way to Fine Fare (centre right). A particular feature of these early days was the sun-blinds to be seen out over the footway in the centre of the picture. Their purpose was to shield the copious provisions in shop windows.

Every family was struggling in those post-war years with conditions that could be best described (...Read full memory)

Hillikers

I remember HIllikers very well as my grandparents, LIly and Cecil Hayter, lived next door in number 65. I also remember the fresh fish shop, I believe it was called Bayliss', and across the road and round the corner was 'Blackies', Mr Blackman's sweet shop. He made delicious ice cream.
