At the corner of High Street and White Hart Lane in Soham. The name originally denoted the chain of government monopoly off-licence (liquor) stores in Poland which were the only outlets permitted to sell beer, wine and vodka for retail consumption. Sales were not permitted before 1pm. This shop seems to be a general licensed grocer, though it specialises in products likely to appeal to the many eastern Europeans who live and work in East Cambridgeshire district with its predominantly agricultural economy.
