Jackson's Corner

A Memory of Tilehurst.

Sad to hear that Jackson's is closing next year. I remember going there with my mother in the 50's and 60's to get shoes and clothing. One time in particular I remember going for shoes, and after trying them on, I put my foot in a wooden contraption which was like an x-ray machine that showed if they fitted. I could not work out how such a thing worked. Does anyone else remember this or was I imagining it?
