Description: | circa 1966
View of the well stocked shelves at the Merrion Centre Pharmacy in Merrion Way, run by L.D.Finsbury, M.P.S. The Pharmacy was situated at the rear of the newly built Merrion Centre which opened on 26th October 1966. Many products sold then are still familiar today, 'Old Spice' aftershave, Cossack men's products, Vitalis, Palmolive, Gillette to name but a few, but does anyone remember the 'Tang' range of men's toiletries? The prices are interesting too - the packaging of 'Old Spice' has only changed a little, keeping a nautical theme, but a large bottle in the 1960s cost 12/8 (60p) whereas nowadays you wouldn't get much change from ?10-00. Notice the packets of 'Lady Jayne' plastic hair curlers on the stand inthe foreground. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Merrion Way Merrion Centre Pharmacy Merrion Centre | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
