The General Store

Here’s a great shop! So much to see. He sells everything including candles, paraffin, cleaning materials, polish, hot water bottles, baccy, sweets, carpet beaters, pots and pans and even cider.

 

The bicycle was used for a home

delivery service, an idea that

supermarkets are rediscovering.

The Apothecary

In the window you will see three large glass

carboys. Such symbols were commonly

used to represent the trade of individual

shops because so few people could

actually read the sign

above the door.

The Toy Shop

Toys in Victorian times were only available for

the rich children. Poor children would make

do with wooden toys made

by their father or perhaps

a piece of rope or washing

line used as a skipping

rope.
