 Save the High Street - smokie
SWMBO and I were taking about shopping the other day. We tend to get nearly everything delivered now, groceries once a week. But we both remember the pre-supermarket days, mother (usually, as often non-working, though mine started to work when I was about 8 or 9) shopping almost daily for perishables in the local grocery store and any shopping for household items etc (which really wasn't so frequent I suppose, with less disposable income) being done on a Saturday in the high St (shops not being open on a Sunday, or after normal work hours in the week).



For Zero, RR (and maybe others, was it CGN?) I recall Bodgers in Ilford and also Bearmans in Leytonstone quite well so they must have been regular visits. The Facebook group "Growing Up in the Ilford area (Redbridge, Gants Hill etc in the 60s 70s" has some great pics and people yapping which might be of interest.
