on 08 Sep 2011 Harry Drummond said I don't know the shop but the crossing gives a date range for the photo. The first Belisha beacons went up in London in mid-1935 (when most MPs were on holiday and couldn't get in the way of Hore-Belisha's great new idea!), and quickly spread elsewhere. The crossing only has studs, not zebra stripes. The latter appeared in some places in 1949 in yellow and dark blue, changing to black and white from 1951. The striping may not have appeared immediately, but probably didn't take long. -
on 25 Jun 2012 D Nolan said The zebra crossing had gone by the mid 1950's. I lived opposite Winborns and used to go in for two ounces of broken rock

on 12 Sep 2017 Paul Bridger said This was the very first sweet shop in Hastings to open for a few hours on a Sunday afternoon. Dad used to send me there on my bike from The Kings Head to buy the evenings treats.

on 08 Dec 2019 alan bourne said This was a very distinctive sweet shop as apart from the wide range of sweets, sold at somuch a quarter, i.e. 4 ounces, they also sold loose snuff which was weighed out on little brass scales on the counter. The place alway had that aroma. I can sill remember it now 65 years later.
