Pleasures Toy Shop, 1 Market Place, Warminster

Pleasures, 1 Market Place, Warminster (on the corner with North Row). Photograph taken by Danny Howell during August 1987.

Toys and prams on the ground floor; models including railway layouts (large layouts!) on the first floor.

The manager was Alan Sims, who lived at Rock Lane, Warminster.

Pleasures was owned by Alan Gallagher (who also owned Paynes and Delights).

At the time this photo was taken, Alan and his wife Moira were living at the rear of the premises (in a conversion of what had been the former stables and bakehouse of the Warminster Co-op store which was here circa 1907 ~ January 1982).
