MERCURY reader Raymond Young found these photos of an old Bridgwater store on carnival day when clearing out the premises 30 years later.

The snaps show Whitbys Radio, Gramophones, Piano Stores on St Mary's Street with one worker preparing for carnival with his 'Don't lose you head' themed entry in 1935.

Raymond said: “I started working in the shop in 1945 and I was clearing it out when it closed 30 years later and came across these photos.”
