You seem them in Germany as well C&As

without a doubt how 20 years on the high street can change Along with development, every decade that goes by you can start with a little wow and end up with bigger wows The further you go back, derbys high street shops have been transformed in 40 years along with a new shopping centre well two in that time.

spar stores are a novelty when you see any Pleased they still are I can remember seeing spar shops advertised on the tv As a kid back in the late 60,s or early 70,s, the ones I last saw were in deepest norfolk back in the 90,s, Sometimes not another shop for miles in some little villages..

Zodiac Toys.

Wasn't a chain, just an independent toy shop in Letchworth Garden City. As a kid I always found some little item I wanted in there.
