Interior of shop
Once the core of the rural community, the village shop has now almost entirely disappeared from everyday life. This well-loved British Institution was a key part of life for rual communities, once stocking everything from Atora shredded suet to Zebra grate polish. The village shop became a victim of accelerating social and economic change.
