Boots, Shoes and Mrs. Vale.
************************
Boot and Shoe repair and the likes of Mrs. Vale and her sweet shop, were two very staple items in village life during the 1930's and 1940's. One was very aware that boots and shoes needed to be repaired once in awhile and not to be thrown out as soon as they became a little scuffed.
Mrs. Vale on the other hand, her shop was a childs dream world for sweets. Her half penny Bran Tub was well used, sometimes you were lucky to come up with something that was worth more than a half penny. She was also famous for her "Big Hearted Arthur" gob-stoppers, and Sherbert Dabs.
