| J G Swart first traded in Rushden from 9 High Street, in the early 1930s, but by 1940 he had moved into number 104, from where he traded until about 1980.
The new shop front of J G Swart, optician was very much out-of-character for our High Street.
It was designed to represent spectacles with the door as the nose on which they were perched.
The black background was rather sombre but the design really took people's attention.
