Turn Back Time on Your High Street

Turn Back Time with Herts Memories and the BBC.
The BBC's series about the Great British High Street, Turn Back Time, features modern shopkeepers, including grocers, butchers, bakers and candlestick makers being transported back through time from the 1870s to the 1970s, selling goods from the past to the customers of Shepton Mallet High Street in Somerset.
To complement this series, volunteers at hertsmemories.org.uk have been working on the interesting and fun projects below.
If you have any stories or photographs of your own high street you would like to add, please add your memories to this category of our website.
