Where Time Stood Still

Where Time Stood Still


Miss Margaret White shut down her chemist's shop in the West of England in 1970, never to open it again. There had been a chemist's shop in her family since the 19th century when it was first opened by her grandfather William. After Miss White's death, the auctioneers moved in. They could not believe their eyes. There was an old-fashioned cash-register and there were still old pennies in it. At the back of the shop there were old medicine bottles covered with dust, and 127 little drawers. They were full of herbal remedies. There were unusual products like "Allcocks Powder Guaranteed Not to Contain Opium or Any Poison Whatsoever". There was a copy of a newspaper for April 16, 1912. It was the issue that described the sinking of the Titanic. "There has never been anything like this before and there never will be again," one of the auctioneers said.
