There were no supermarkets in the early 1900s. Instead there were lots of specialist shops serving the needs of the people of Whitley Bay and surrounding area.

Discover a fascinating world where anything from a bucket to the latest fashion item could be purchased. The photographs of the shops are taken from an old booklet and need to be looked at very carefully. All advertisements shown are as they appear in the original brochure.
