The shop, based in Littleport , was originally founded by JH Adams and Sons over 100 years ago and is a time capsule containing rarely seen archive objects, photographs, letters and ledgers that document the everyday lives of a traditional Fenland community for over a century.
Cambridge Filmworks Director Adam Giles said ' This was a great project to be involved in. We were invited to create a film in partnership with ADEC and The Heritage Lottery Fund that would bring to life the long history of the shop and the pivotal role it has played within its local community over the years. We combined archive photography with interior footage of this unique building and engaged members of the community who retold their memories of the shop past and present.
