Very new to this so please be patient.
I am trying to research homes and trading in 1950's 1960's Britain. As I was born in 1960, I have a vague recollection of people trading goods, mainly food from their home parlours. I have spoken to a few people that have confirmed my memories. My request from yourselves is two fold.
1. Can people share their memories of these homes with me, and if possible can you share any photographs of such homes, this I am told would be next to impossible.
2. Now for the hard one, i have a recollection of going to a house to buy cigarettes from a vending machine that was situated just inside the front door. Please don’t tell me I have lost my mind, as no one else seems to think that this would have happened.
Regards Kieran Portwood
