EDITORS COMMENTS
A charming snapshot of everyday life at the seaside in the 1950s, this print captures the corner shop at Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex, a beloved destination for holidaymakers and locals alike. The quaint corner shop, adorned with colorful signage, offered a variety of essentials for an enjoyable day at the beach. Tobacco, confectionery, and other beach requisites were displayed in the window, enticing passersby with their vibrant packaging and tantalizing aromas. The shop also functioned as a snack bar, where weary visitors could find respite from the sun and indulge in refreshing treats like ice creams, coffee, and tea. The addition of a Foyles London Lending Library Service branch made this corner shop a true community hub, allowing patrons to borrow books and magazines during their stay. The shopkeeper, dressed in a white apron and cap, stands behind the counter, ready to assist customers with a friendly smile. The shop's exterior is adorned with an array of advertising, including signs for Craven A cigarettes, Capstan Full Strength tobacco, and Flake 99 ice cream. A new gate and rubber mats are visible at the entrance, adding to the shop's inviting atmosphere. This photograph, taken circa 1950, transports us back to a simpler time, where the corner shop was a vital part of the seaside resort experience. The shop's eclectic mix of offerings, from tobacco and confectionery to books and snacks, catered to the diverse needs of holidaymakers and locals, making it an essential stop for anyone visiting Walton-on-the-Naze in the 1950s.
