EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken by Alan Greeley in the late 1960s, captures the last days of a beloved sweetshop and tobacconist in Peckham, London. Run by Mr. and Mrs. Price, the shop was a cherished institution on the corner of Sumner Road and Garnies Street. The colorful display of sweets and tobacco products, arranged neatly on the shelves, reflects the charm and character of the community it served. The notices displayed in the window, announcing the imminent closing of the shop, add a sense of melancholy to the scene. The area was soon to undergo redevelopment, and the traditional businesses that defined it were being replaced by modernization. The image captures a moment in time, preserving the memory of a beloved local business and the people who ran it. The sweetshop and tobacconist was more than just a place to buy sweets or tobacco; it was a gathering spot for the community. Children would come to buy penny sweets, while adults would stop in for a chat and a cigarette. The shop was a hub of social activity, and its closure marked the end of an era. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the past, showcasing a time when life moved at a slower pace, and community connections were stronger. It invites us to reflect on the importance of preserving the memories of our local businesses and the role they play in shaping our communities.
