The Old Fashioned Corner Shop Back to top

Before the days of modern pre-packaged sweets, confectionery was weighed out from jars and wrapped up in a paper bag by the shop keeper.

It was a real treat for children to spend their pocket money on a quarter of sweets or to pick penny sweets from the rows and rows on display in the sweet shop.

News Story Back to top

At Yesterday’s World in Battle, East Sussex, we have our very own Chocolate Shop display in the museum, which evokes fond memories for many visitors, not least for its evocative ‘penny twist’ smell!

A recent addition to the old fashioned sweet shop, which made headlines in our news section in 2005 was a collection of over 100 tins, jars and packages of sweets, discovered last summer in a disused storeroom.

Lindsay from Yesterday's World with the discovery of over a hundred fifty year old sweet jars, tins and packaging now on display in the Yesterday's World Museum in Battle, East Sussex.

Many of the varieties, which include brands such as Dulcet Pastille Fruits, Jelly Fish and Lyon’s Double Hit that are no longer produced today had remained unopened from fifty years ago and still had their original price tickets in pounds, shilling and pence.

The discovery at Folkestone Bus Depot caused quite a media sensation and made BBC Radio 2 and BBC online world-wide as well as attracting lots of local interest.
