Northfields, Witley
As a child on holiday with my aunts, uncles and grandma who lived at Northfields (where the post office is situated by the main road), I would spend many happy times buying pens, pencils, notebooks etc. I remember a Mr Bannister used to run the shop then.

It is interesting to note that the Burton chain of menswear shops, like the one pictured here (right), have recently celebrated fifty years in business.
This is one of several short parades of shops along the main road through Penn. Built in the early to mid 20th century, it remains largely unchanged today.
The sign above Dent's shop, advertising bed and breakfast for cyclists highlights another difference in lifestyles.
The modern shop fronts in the town hide many old medieval houses.
Looking west along the Broadway we see amongst the shops branches of Curry's, the Co-op and W H Smith.
The second shop down on the left at 55 High Street is Stoodley & Sons, the jewellers, established in 1861 and still trading in Alton today.
The first shop on the right is Boots at No 10. Next door is Woolworths, and next but one is Westminster Bank at No 4. These three businesses are still in Petersfield at the same addresses.
Here we are looking down the High Street, with Smith's chemist's shop – still at this period with only one large window – on the right.
At ground floor level canopied, stylish shop fronts replace the premises of J Baker and Complete House Furnishings. Kingfisher China and Glass replaces Smith Bradbeer & Co on the left.
The Wheatsheaf Hotel (right) displaced an earlier 17th-century victuallers, and the 19th-century properties on the right replaced the early 16th-century shops that had slowly encroached onto the city's
The one with the clock was Hopkins, a jeweller's shop, but in the early 20th century it had been Liptons, one of the first chain grocers, a forerunner of today's supermarkets.
There is a cosy feel to the main street of this little village, between Sandwich and Wingham; it centres around the local shop, the Chequers Inn (on the extreme right) and the brick-built bus shelter.
The neighbouring shops, built around the time of the station, with their Crittall windows and regular fronts, hidden just to the left of the camera, set a similar austere tone.
Much of the south side of the main street beyond the village shop and the junction with Mill Lane is now occupied by a private school, Monkton Combe School.
Back in the 1960s there were as many as five shops in Nether Wallop.
Bolckow Road was the busy commercial centre of the Grangetown community, as we can see here from the wide selection of local shops and the parish church of St Matthew in the centre.
The wallpaper shop and its neighbours on the right-hand side of the street would be demolished during the construction of Academy Way.
The wool shop to the left occupied the former offices of William Beamont, Warrington's first mayor in 1847.
To the left is the now closed red brick post office, whose shop front has been replaced by three windows. Ahead is the 17th-century timber-framed White Horse and the Victorian South View Cottage.
The house and shop to the left have been demolished. Off to the left are the first rural council houses in England, built in 1893.
Also very popular was the sending of picture postcards, which served people much as the telephone does today - Eatons paper shop, on the left, claimed to have the largest selection.
This general view shows the street about 40 years ago. Today, many of the lovely old Georgian buildings remain.
The Royal Marine Restaurant, next to the Royal Marine hotel, has been replaced by shops.
The blaze also damaged Archer's ironmongers' shop next door (with a kettle for its trade-sign). Spectators at the fire faced the added danger of having the clock fall on them.
