There was a newsagent bang opposite the bottom part of St.Pauls that used to have a Beech Nut chewing gum machine on the outside wall. During school breaks we could buy cheese biscuits or chocolate fingers for a penny (that's pre-decimal guys!). When it went decimal we were offered penny wafers. And what about non PC purchases like tobacco sweets; packs of cigarettes with pink tips, chocolate cigars and sweet rolling tobacco in pouches. How did our teeth ever survive??
We used to buy REAL cigarettes `singles` from a shop up Burnley road in Clayton. You would ask for how many you wanted and she waould give you them in a little toffee bag and a few matches to go with them
