A photo recently posted by Ian L which I thought took quite well to the refreshment of its somewhat faded colour.

I remember the psychedelia shop - the turquoise painted front next to the pub. Its sole activity apparently was squirting paint onto a piece of paper revolving on a turntable. Nobody ever seemed to be doing that so I always wondered (perhaps naively if other more profitable ctivities might have been going on. I was of course too young to know.

Along there was ‘Mr’ Browns Barbers, any style you wanted as long as it was a short back and side.
There was also the the Beefeater Coffee Bar with its Duke Box, popular with teenagers in the 1960’s.
