Location: June Sutherland Chapel

We take shopping for granted nowadays, using our local shops - if we still have them - and going to the supermarket. We can even order on-line and have a home delivery at our convenience. How different was it for our ancestors? Would we recognise a medieval shopfront in our own High Street? And what about shop signs and shop names - how have they changed? Do you remember bacon machines, cash railways and no self-service? Janet’s talk will take us back through nostalgia and beyond. Entry is free for EPKPS members. Visitors £3, payable on entry (cash only). All admissions subject to availability of seats on arrival.
