EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the year 1960, capturing a unique corner shop in Pwllheli, Gwynedd. Little did anyone know that this charming establishment had once served as the town's jail. The juxtaposition of its past and present purpose is truly fascinating. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see an array of delightful sights. A variety of birds roam freely outside the shop, with chickens strutting about and adding a touch of rural charm to the scene. Inside, shelves are adorned with an abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables, showcasing the fruiterer's dedication to providing quality produce for their customers. The poulterer section catches our attention too; perhaps it was here that locals would find their choice selection of poultry products. Eggs may have been collected daily from nearby farms and proudly displayed alongside other goods. This photograph not only captures a moment in history but also encapsulates the essence of small-town life in Wales during this era. It reminds us how shops like these were at the heart of communities - places where people gathered not only to purchase necessities but also to exchange stories and catch up on local news. Thanks to Western Mail Archive's preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this nostalgic glimpse into Pwllheli's past – a testament to Welsh heritage and everyday life long gone by.
