What a wonderful picture, thank you for posting Gene. That brings back memories for me, I even remember my mother going into that self same chemist for Ambre Solaire one summer, could even have been in '74. We used to holiday in nearby Eype between '72 and '80 and frequently went into Bridport. If my memory serves me correct the chemist was almost opposite the old town hall. Had the timings been right the picture could well have captured a very young Sam Tyler walking along with Ruth and Vic while holding Ivanhoe's lead (except in this case Ivanhoe would have been a black and white dog). Sam.

What a great photo, thanks for posting Gene Streets looked much cleaner and uncluttered back then. I note the 4:3tv shop too! Sam Tyler - isn’t that you walking past the chemist? The Saint

Excellent pic as always I like the use of the word Druggists. Don't see that within the portfolio of chemists these days! Hope the 43TV shop's survived the High Street decline.

This is turning into a bit of a location finding excercise as none of these slides are accompanied by notes. Some only have the year hand written on them but this one - nothing at all! Another timewarp shot from half a century ago. This time of Grafton Street, Dublin. Nice to see our banner still up on the railings Sam! https://www.instagram.com/p/CmW8_50offa Gene.

Another great picture Gene and great to see our banner taking pride of place for passing motorists.
All the stonework of the buildings in the cities from those days look so ingrained with dirt and grime but as we've seen elsewhere it is nothing that a Karcher couldn't put right.
Sam.
