These books are on sale in the Chiltern Open Air Museum shop, although it's closed for the winter at the moment - reopens 29th March.

Also used to take the " Accumulator's" across the road to Davis's, to be chargerd.

The " Bomb shop" was the second or third shop down from the top after "Lanes" the butcher.
Do you know, Why? It was called the "bomb Shop"

I believe "Bluebells" was between the "Bombshop" and "Hearns " the bike shop.

I'm told The Bomb Shop was run by one Harry Flowers who moved here from London where his business had been bombed out - hence the name of the new shop.

Yes, I think it was. The milk bar? Also yes. If I remember, co-op was on the corner then about 2 or 3 up from there.
