Two middle-aged women engage in a friendly conversation as they browse through the aisles, surrounded by the sights and sounds of a bustling British supermarket. The photograph, taken before the decimalisation of the currency in 1971, showcases the prices of various goods displayed on the tiled floor. Tins of peaches and creamed rice pudding are priced at two shillings and three pence, rhubarb at one shilling and a penny, and prunes at one shilling. The women, dressed in cardigans and suits, are deep in conversation as they examine the shelves filled with a variety of goods. A basket sits at their feet, filled with items such as sugar, flour, and tea. The scene is further enhanced by the display of wire baskets and the intricate tiling on the floor. The International Stores, with its wide aisles and high ceilings, was a popular shopping destination in Crediton, Devon, during the 1960s. The store offered a vast selection of goods, from canned foods and cereals to packets of flour and bottles of cocoa.
