Tucked down in the far corner of the basement of the indoor market within Clarendon Shopping Centre is Berry's.
They stock all the traditonal sweets like Uncle Joe's Mintballs, Pontefract Cakes, Humbugs and hundreds more dispensed from their own jars. OK so they sell you 100gm these days rather than a quarter-pound, but they taste just as delicious.

uhmm, looks like there are a lot of goodies there. The lady looks nice and friendly too!! Do they have marshmallows? Love them!!
Wow the smile on that lady's face is priceless!!
that looks like a fun place, very much like old style stores in HK, so at first glance I thought it was a Chinese store...nice shot, very interesting
Excuisite! How inviting!
most charming!
Makes me homesick!
It's like the Tante Emma Laden (Aunt's Emma Shops in Germany). There are old shops to buy food.
I love this. I just read in the newspaper about Raj Patel's book "Stuffed and Starved", about the overwhelming force of supermarkets with their convenience and abundance of fat, sugar and artificial additives. This shop stems from a time in which a candy was still a special treat, a little taste jewel, to spend your last dime to. I also like the neat-and-tidyness very much, how different from the screaming colors urging you to buy "something new"! (I came here via aminus3)
Erik came via a link on my photoblog where I posted another version of this photograph - http://sithenah.aminus3.com/image/2007-09-19.html?comment=494223
To be fair to the new owners the shop looks fairly similar.
