The Corner Shop

Half the street has stopped outside the sweet shop. Two children have their noses pressed to the window where the Fry's and Cadbury's boxes are stacked in pyramids, a boy in a straw hat is weighing up his choices, and a woman in a red coat waits with a small girl who has already made up her mind.

Enamel signs above the shopfront for Ovaltine, Bovril, Cadbury's Cocoa and Pelaw Boot Polish, and a little dog on the cobbles taking a keen interest in everybody!
