Contact sheet. The Decimal Shop was an existing branch that was replanned to provide opportunities for staff training, enable organised visits from groups of customers and serve as a "dress rehearsal" for Sainsbury's plans and arrangements for the UK's change to decimal currency on 15 February 1971. The Decimal Shop was opened on 10 February 1970 and was the first of its kind in the UK. A caption in 'JS Journal' March 1970, p.6, indicates that these images show members of the Sanderstead Wines Club, the first group to visit.
