This is a nice shot of "The Vacuum Store". These are probably becoming a rarity in many areas. Sales, service, repairs and spares would be a good motto for this place.

Thank you, I can’t remember seeing such a specialised shop as this nowadays.

I think maybe they sell nostalgia here. Pre-Amazon nostalgia.

Kerrow, you have grabbed a moment in TIME here (dare I say....for Posterity?)...!!
Such a quaint, picturesque little store front - its character perfectly captured. Love it.

Thank you for your kind comments... I kinda wonder how much longer a small independent business like this, can survive in the fast electrical online giants of the world today.

Terrific shot KD. In today's world, people don't even think about getting such items fixed, they just replace them. Have you ever attempted to get parts for a modern-day appliance? Kind of sounds like a camera maker we all know.

Yep... a disposable society.

I couldn't possible comment... as they're all pretty much the same. That's why it's so important to have backup bits of important kit.
