How many years ago was that? Wallace Heaton Graphic remembered.

 In the absence  of news of fresh bright negatives taken in the past few days- a blast from the past by wayof a small bundle of magazines that were given me this week.

The Magazine is one that will be recalled by a few members but in particular anyone who made a mail order purchase at Wallace Heaton in the 50,s and  60's. This publication was mailed to customers at frequent intervals, free of charge but it had a nominal cost of on shilling on the cover. What a change in the scene over what seems to be notime!  Leica was strongly featured in the adverts with the very best of Nikon gear such as the proliferation of Nikon F fittings in the 1960;s

A notable feature is the debut of the Wallace Heaton branded lenses and projection eqiipment. I have been trying to equate or perhaps relate this to the take over by Dixons that followed shortly afterwards, Another feature was the sudden appearance of WH outlets at Bentalls in such watering places as Cheltenham and within Bentalls at Kingston upon Thames.
