My mum used to take me to Ray's newsagents so we could get 5p golf-ball bubblegum when i was in primary school. Seeing this photo, even-though its not as old as the first, is still very amazing and nostalgic!!

Chignell 1906/Ray 2006......but in the late 50s and early 60s, this was our go to sweet shop for fruit salad, black jacks and flying saucers...as well as Jamboree bags.
The elderly couple, he dressed in the ubiquitous light brown Arkwright coat, were always happy to help. They were old because I knew everyone was old...compared with me. But they had survived at least one world war....and I knew nothing of either.
I can't find their names. Next door, on the corner of Pemberton Road was the Off license/Threshers. It replaced the sweet shop later in accepting my coins.
Saturday was always special, always sunny and we would race down Pemberton Road on our box-carts to get the sweets, perhaps a comic and we were carefree and happy. As children ought to be.
