Living On Tick (Ulverscroft Large Print Series) - Hardcover
"Part of our war effort at Central Stores must surely have been in helping to keep people's spirits up. Even in wartime there has to be humour or we'd all be dead. Not from bullets but from sheer monotony."
The corner shop in the 1920s and '30s was much more than just a place to buy the groceries. It was a meeting place where familiar faces, on both sides of the counter, swapped stories and helped each other out. Hazel Wheeler grew up in her father's shop in Deighton near Huddersfield and recalls her memories of those times. She remembers the people, the goods they sold in the shop and a way of life that has now vanished.
