Looking at the pictures on the TVs, I spotted Dickie Davies (world of sport), Cricket from Cardiff (BBC 1 I guess), ITV afternoon programmes menu (can’t tell region) lots of test card F, one test card D and some full screen bars.
Cars, Viva estate ?, Ford Anglia van, BMW 5 series.
Anyone else spot anything interesting besides the TVs.
I can look at old pictures like this for hours.
It was that second picture that had me singing Dickie Davis Eyes by Half Man Half Biscuit to myself. The local TV shop I remember as a child (J. H. Rowell) is now a florists.

Love seeing these old nostalgic images of yesteryear!
WOT NO VISIONHIRE???
Worked there at the High Wycombe branch in the late 70s early 80s. All Philips sets and even Video Recorders – N1700.
Went there a couple of years ago and it’s just a big hole in wall now. Before that I was at CIVIC Stores – remember Harry Worth doing his Window Reflections in their ads.
Those were the days when the Valve sets kept us warm
