This charity shop at 100 High Street was opened by my mother, who is standing at the doorway, in 1972. She stayed here for 8 years and then moved the short distance up to Island Street to open a Cancer Research Campaign shop in 1981 Image The Oxfam shop moved to Channel Street but it closed in 2008 Image
