More about this scene

Here we are looking at shops on the side opposite the Parade. Wainwright the chemist's (right) is an old Eastleigh firm that until recently survived in the centre of the town, but this branch has become a showroom for heating appliances. The taller building standing out from the building line is the former Westminster Bank, and the smaller building is still the Chandler's Ford Post Office.

The hours were from 9-6 five and a half days a week, the salary £5 per week. ...see more
