Lovely capture Colin,
almost a scene from a Ronnie Barker comedy series

Yes you are on the right track

Very evocative of the north, Colin. And how wonderful that this place still exists when so many have disappeared.

It’s at the railway station entrance which must still be an advantage. Manchester Commuter Land

Lovely. A Local Shop for Local People.

Indeed, it even says Welcome to Royston Vasey on the side window!
But I was made welcome

And with the spectacular monument reflected in the window, which I hadn’t noticed.
It’s amazing how much of the series is so politically incorrect now.

Yes and it’s the war memorial - I can’t claim to have seen the reflection at the time.

It’s an iconic part of the opening titles of The League of Gentlemen, which makes the photograph spot on in its supply of a clue to its whereabouts.

A delightful looking little corner shop Colin.............the pillar of nearly all rural communities and stocking all the essentials.

And they do your parcels as well.

Fabulous capture!

I found it on 'street view' - I didn't know at the time (1961) that I was passing within 80 metres of the shop on my daily rail route to Man. where I worked as a yoof'.. Incidentally my parents ran a street corner 'Beer off' where we also lived until 1966,.// Keep well Colin and Cheers' from > Dj.
