Sandy Monfries is winding down his Monfries and Sons business in Pretoria Place, Brightons, which has served the people of the village for well over 100 years.
Falkirk Herald photographer was on hand to capture some timeless images of the shop, which apparently has not changed since it first opened.
Take a look for yourself and prepare to be transported back to a different time and place.
