Inside the family-run Hornchurch sweet shop celebrating its 12th Christmas
Briefly

Julie Allsop mentioned, 'We always enjoy Christmas - it's very nice in the shop. It's funny because people come in and say 'have you got any chocolate Brazils - I've been looking everywhere for them!' I think people forget that you can still buy all these old-fashioned sweets - you don't have to go to the supermarket and make do with what they give you.' This reflects the nostalgic experience that the shop offers, highlighting the rarity of classic sweets available today.
Julie stated, 'What we really love about it is the fact that older people have all got a story about the sweet shops they used to use when they were kids. We like to think that we are creating the same kind of memories for children today.' This showcases the shop's role in bridging generational gaps through shared sweet memories.
