It was an old cheese barrel filled with sawdust and penny wonders. The back of the counter was lined with all manner of sweet jars which were full of bulls eyes,gobstoppers,spanish,pontrefact cakes and Williamsons toffees to name just a few. Jess and I used to spend some of our pocket money there after visiting Nins' on a Sunday.
Happy ,long gone, days,
