I'm a huge fan of Boyes, a chain of shops across the north of England.
There's a real old fashioned charm about these stores, (they also have a brilliant haberdashery department and seem to sell everything, including hair rollers!)
They even have a Boyes museum in Bridlington and I was fascinated by the vintage packaging.
Ooo...look at the paper!
Don't you just wish that shops looked like this now!
'Cheese!'
I always stock up on their notebooks when I visit, I'm sure they're from the 1960's don't you think!
(By the way, this isn't an advert or anything like that, I just wanted to share the photos with you all!)

ReplyDelete(ohhhhh that shiny floor boards ;-) !)
I was in heaven! x
DeleteYes wouldn't it be wonderful to walk through that shop door and be transported back in time like some of your pictures. I remember a small grocery store where we lived and all the things on the shelves, Tide laundry powder, the old corn flake packaging, shoe polish tins, but most of all I remember that smell of wood - not many shops these days have original wooden fittings - they just don't smell the same!
ReplyDeleteOoooo yes, I know exactly what you mean! x
