Sweet Delivery to The Central Stores - A Glimpse into 1930s Barlestone, Leicestershire
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from December 2nd, 1938, we are transported back in time to the heart of Barlestone village in Leicestershire. Standing proudly outside The Central Stores, a quaint village shop, is a delivery van adorned with advertisements for sweet treats that were sure to delight the taste buds of locals. As our gaze shifts towards the foreground of the image, two eager young boys captivate our attention. Their eyes wide with anticipation and curiosity as they witness this exciting moment unfold before them. Perhaps they have been sent on an errand by their parents or simply couldn't resist the allure of sweets being delivered right at their doorstep. The scene itself exudes a sense of simplicity and charm that was characteristic of small English villages during the thirties. The presence of a nearby Baptist church and pub further adds to the nostalgic atmosphere surrounding this snapshot in time. This photograph not only captures a momentary glimpse into everyday life but also serves as a reminder of how transport played an essential role in connecting rural communities like Barlestone with goods from afar. Preserved through Memory Lane Prints, this image allows us to reflect upon childhood innocence and simpler times while appreciating the rich history embedded within every corner of England's East Midlands region.
