fined

Perhaps: "Finings are substances that are usually added at or near the completion of the processing of brewing wine, beer and various nonalcoholic juice beverages. Their purpose is for removal of organic compounds; to either improve clarity or adjust flavor/aroma." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finings Also, the date of the photograph may be few years later than on the barrel - Port wine often undergoes barrel-aging from 10 or less to 40 years...

Alek Nowak Thank you very much for the Finings info. Had considered that it might be older because of the date on the barrels (alcohol maturing, etc.), but we have a very finite set of photos of this establishment, and from how Poole Photographers usually operated (plus the clothing), I'd feel fairly confident this one was taken around the same time as the other two...

I like this amazing shot

"By 1924, Johnson & Johnson introduced the first machine that produced sterilized Band-Aids." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Band-Aid

blackpoolbeach Thanks, interesting! If we come across any more Druggist/Chemist shop windows, will keep an eye out for sticky plasters on display - Band-Aid or otherwise.

Excelente trabajo fotografico!!! Saludos!!

It's incredibly sad! She had a trade and was working but I bet it was linked to her husbands passing and being unable to cope with it..
