A man who now runs the shop his grandfather first opened in 1958 has stumbled across a treasure chest of old food boxes and bottles hidden behind a wall - dating from when a box of cornflakes would cost you just 22p. Alan Gordon has found relics at the shop opened by his grandad Len, then passed down to Alan's dad Frank.
Alan told the ECHO: "They were found in between a partition wall, like a fake wall when putting new shelving in. I think these have fallen down the back over the years and as we’ve moved the shelving we’ve found more items. We’ve found them over time, over the last year, when we've been doing some alterations to the shop. I thought they were really cute to be honest.
"I think the size of the cereal boxes was quite shocking, they were quite small in those days and now the sizes today, they're quite big. Also the logos on the box and there was no dates on some of the food.
