Throwback Thursday: Do You Remember...?

ENFIELD, CT — In this weekly series, Enfield Patch publishes a photo of a business or landmark in town that is no longer in existence.

Today we return to the photo book Enfield: 1950-1980 to a 1960s view of the former Gateway Foods grocery store at the intersection of Weymouth and Steele roads.

The strip plaza eventually became home to the Amber Light Lounge & Cafe in the 1970s, and housed the sports-themed Penalty Box Cafe in the 1980s and 1990s. The site is currently home to Porter & Chester Institute.

Enfield: 1950-1980 is a book of photographs of Enfield taken by the late Edward Malley, a well-known area newspaper photographer. It was compiled by his son, James Malley.

Enfield Patch invites readers to share memories in the comments section below.
