‘Shops & Shopping: the small shop through the ages’ U3A Monthly Event
February 28 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

A presentation by Janet Pennington.
We take shopping for granted nowadays, using our local shops (if we still have them) and going to the supermarket. We can even order on-line and have a home delivery at our convenience. How different was it for our ancestors – would we recognise a medieval shopfront in our own High Street and how many have survived? And what about shop signs and shop names – how have they changed? Do you have shopkeeping ancestors? Who really said that the English are a ’nation of shopkeepers’?
