Half A Crown To Spend.

A Memory of Wareham.

My Twin sister Georgina and I (Catherine) would run up from No77 East Street once a week to spend our pocket money at Bennetts,we used to get halfpenny chews they were called Black Jacks and were liquorice( they used to make our teeth look black for a while),sherbert dips,sherbert lemons,aniseed balls,gobstoppers and pineapple chunks.
Happy days,I can still feel myself running at speed up to the shop and Mr Bennet had white hair and wore a white overall.That was in the late 1950's and 1960's.We were the Dumper twins.
