This interview is with Michael Simmonds who still owns and works at the family-run shop, which is one of only two High Street Shops to have remained open throughout the twentieth century, and into the twenty-first!

Michael Simmonds also talked about his memories of working at the shop, as part of our Clocking In exhibition in May 2010.
