This photograph of Alfred Olby's shop has a 1950's look about it . The address is 5 King Street Margate and today the original shop front is still intact, the premises now form part of the West Coast Bar.
I love this type of old shop you went in there for a left handed thingiemebob and they dissappeared and came back with a thingiemebob and it whatchercallit that you would need to fit it
Olny srmat poelpe can raed this. I cdnuolt blveiee that I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd what I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in what oredr the ltteers in a word are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is that the first and last ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can still raed it wouthit a porbelm. This is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the word as a wlohe. Amzanig huh? Yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt! if you can raed tihs psas it on !!

Don, I like them also especialy the smell of paraffin that seemed to permeate the shop.
