On Saturday 25th of October 2008, Jacksons the shoe people celebrated 70 years in business by having a day of 1940's memorabilia and nostalgia.
The customers were treated to a glass of ginger beer, cake and some old fashioned sweets and 1940's music. Jowett Flying Fix named 'PLUG' was parked outside, kindly loaned for the day by Stuart Grant, drawing lots of admiring glances from passers by.



Kira spent the day as a shoe shine boy.


Me and Debbie and staff were dressed in 1940's costume and Kira provided an authentic shoe shine service and raised £55.87 for Children in Need.
We had a prize draw for anyone born in 1938 and they won a visit to our chiropodist and a pair of shoes upto £50.
