HISTORY fans have been treated to a nostalgic look at how a town's shops have changed over the past 50 years.
Sandra Soder, of the Gravesend Historical Society, gave the illustrated History of Shops talk at TOWNCENTRIC, St George's Square, Gravesend.
The audience was given a look at prominent shops which have now closed their doors.
Slides of some of the shops were used to illustrate the talk.
Mrs Soder also displayed memorabilia including bags and hangers from retail premises.
She said: "It reminds people and then they start remembering their memories of them.
"We get an interaction."
