It must be difficult for anyone born after the year 1970 (or perhaps even a few years prior to that) to understand the wealth and range of businesses and services that were once available to consumers and customers in Finedon prior to, between and immediately following the two world wars

We re-print here a variety of old advertisements and flyers together with some photographs of  business premises that are no longer trading (some of which have been demolished) at the current time.
