Turn Back Time

If you have been watching the entertaining series Turn Back Time: The High Street on ABC, you may be hankering for some of the old-fashioned customer service which shops used to provide - weighing out the goods, bagging them up, and delivering them to your home. These two photos, taken around 1965, show Mr Eric Jones and his grocery store at 26 Darley Road, Manly. Mr Jones began his store in the mid 1920s, and it was still going strong into the early 1980s. The shop is vividly remembered by many of his former customers. Pictuerd outside the shop are Ken Jones, Eric Jones and Rodney Nicholson.
