The crowds were out in Wellington over 40 years ago to do their Christmas shopping – or were they perhaps out to admire the Christmas lights?
This photograph from our archives was taken in The Square on December 14, 1965. The name of the shop, pictured centre, has been deliberately masked on the photo.
The reason for this, we presume, is that the newspaper did not want to give the store “free advertising”.

Patrick,
Thank you so much for e mailing in the picture of your mother and father outside number 10.I have many memories of shop number 1 on Market ST, Trevor from Clun-is he still going strong-the sight of bananas on display in the window after WW11,the ice used for packing fish in a pile melting on the street- so I could go on.
