Well heeled

Every time I pass this shop in 'bont, I want to stop & capture it here. There was a time when this was the face of town centres / high streets throughout Wales (England, too?), and it is rapidly disappearing. I wanted to save this for posterity. I guess this was when the high street served as your department store. Tailor, cobbler, butcher, baker, greengrocer, fishmonger, hardware store, tobacconist, newsagent, post office, and, if you were lucky, a cafe. Now, all this can be found in Tesco.




Since 1910 - shoes for the people of 'Bont, but sadly no more. Progress, eh?
