Does anyone remember the first supermarket opening in King St? It was called Blowers...not very large.
I remember going for the first time and ending up with a trolley load of stuff which cost approx. £1.10/- {£1.50}

Wish I could do it today!
Hubby's wages were £10 a week back then though and our first mortgage for a 3 bed. semi on Holden Rd Leigh was £9.2shillings and 3d a month!!
The house cost £1,800 and we had to put a deposit of £300 down.

Those were the days!
