Copy of a postcard of High Street, Colchester. Sainsbury's branch at 40-41 High Street can be seen. Postcard has reference 67343 and mark "J.V." - this refers to the postcard publisher J. Valentine. Caption written on back by Sainsbury's Archive staff: "The photograph shows the High Street soon after Sainsbury's came to Colchester. Next door were Kendall and Sons, umbrella and parasol makers, whose doorway was crowned with a cheerful sign which read 'Sun or rain'. Notice the huge scale of the lettering on Sainsbury's shopfront, with painted gold letters above a black glass sign with gilded lettering."
