More about this scene
The decorative brick house on the right is worth a second look. Groups of children, probably from St Wilfred's school at the bottom, occupy the street. This is a village of artisan housing and shops, dating mainly from the 19th century.

"the first supermarket" to me it was a good paper shop to work for except for the weeky echo we had to do ontop of the normal morning round,those papers put together could hardly get into any letterbox. but i was there for seems years because i saved up for my first real hi-fi stack system so cheers
So many lovely memories of Coalville. I went to Bardon Hill School and we used to have to walk thru the quarry to get there (would never be allowed now). I remember our teachers, Miss Maloney, Mr Davy, the head and Mrs Cambers.... Ah and our lovely dinner ladies Mrs Shelton and Mrs Kirk.. bless 'em. They seemed old then, bet they've passed on now. Oh and who remembers the tuck shop outside the school fence.... ...see more
The first shop on the right hand side on the photo was 'Shepshed Super Store' during the 1970s. I owned the shop from 1978-80, selling discount toys, household items and fancy goods.
