That was the remains of my childhood right there.

This was probably just before the big Pfizer expansion. That really changed the business flow in Sandwich from then. The actual town centre looks pretty much as it does now - apart from the fact that you can see the old "Whites" shop - which is now a "Starbucks". I can't remember if the big supermarket behind the Red Cow was being built around that time. Oh - the old butcher's shop is there(with the stripey red and white outside) - that's a carpet shop now(I think). The pharmacy has moved from No Name Street opposite Spar; in its place, there's that French shop which sells French produce. Interesting piece of history of the town.

I'm living in Sandwich for a few months, love this little town. Amazing to see an old video like is.

Apart from Chemist, Manders Wymans and Lloyds..it looks just the same!

SO sad ,I lived directly outside Pleasurama from 1945 until 1968.....I spent my whole childhood in there..

Brilliant !! Thanks for posting.
