This was our local bread shop. When I was sent to buy a loaf (white sandwich) it cost 7 1/2d. I still buy proper bread but nowadays it's wholemeal farmhouse, cost £1.65 and comes from a shop some 150 miles away.

Do you have any other photos if this area, I lived in the flats above 821A, I think this shop was a chemist then (80’s)

There was a Chemist on the corner of Torrington Park opposite Barclays Bank which was on the other corner. This would be about 50 yds/mtrs to the south. It was a small shop and its name was RH Nind. I believe it was run by Mr Nind, his son and daughter in law. I had occasion to call in to that Chemist on many occasions. Does this fit with your recollection?

yes, thank you Lindsay - the pub would have been across the road
