In amongst the sand dunes, where the river and sea meet, was a plastic bag. On closer inspection,, i was amazed to pick up a Fox's Glacier mints packet.
The packet cost 1/-, which was pre-decimalisation.
The cost was 1 shilling or 12 old pennies.
The Polar bear first appeared on packets in 1922 and was called Peppy the polar bear!
therefore, we can date the packet between 1922-1971, however, i suspect the packet is from the 1960's.
So interesting to find things like this when beach cleaning.
