Shop Love!


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!)

  2. Yes 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!

Would you like to make a comment chuck?
I'd love to hear your thoughts, just a minute and I'll put the kettle on.
Custard cream or bourbon?
