Martin Feeney came to Arles 1934, had a
lovely thatched shop which was demolished and replaced by the
present structure, which has been closed since early 1992.
He stocked various selection of items,
including a large galvanised barrel in the middle of the shop,
containing paraffin oil. Customers came with cans and bottles which
Martin filled for them from a tap on the top of the barrel using a
hand pump. On the counter near the oil you could buy cakes bread
sweets etc. A tea chest, a sack of sugar and pollard and flour
cluttering the floor.
