I used to visit Bunting’s with my grandparents when I was a toddler, I’m almost 50 now. They used to have a children’s play house in the garden the back which had an upstairs, unheard of back then!
Happy days 😊
I also have happy memories of Buntings. Mum would phone her order through and low and behold it was delivered to Inkberrow, all as she wanted. The modern online supermarket deliveries have much to learn . Always a treat to visit Buntings . They were so lovely .
I was a sales representative for a company called Esoffier I the late 1950s and early 1960s and used to call regularly on Buntings and John Bunting used to give me orders. I am now 85 years old And had recently wondered if Buntings were still in business . I thought that John would be two or three years younger than I was
The van in the lower left of the picture is my father’s Calor Gas delivery van. J. Burden & Son, the ironmongers store on Swan St. was established in 1899 by my grandfather John Burden.
The shop is now operated by Morris Mica Hardware.
