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 continue the new format of this column we instituted last week: old advertisements from local businesses in some 1970s Enfield and Fermi high school yearbooks and early 1970s-era telephone directories.

Corey Volkswagen was a car dealership located at 1551 King Street in the mid-1970s. It was owned and operated by Peter Corey, Sr., who also owned Corey Oldsmobile in Holyoke, Mass. He sponsored a baseball team in the Thompsonville Big League, and he passed away Jan. 18, 2014 at age 91.

After Corey VW, the building briefly became a Dodge dealership, but is best known for its long tenure as home to Namco Pool Supplies. Namco moved out in late summer 2016, and the building was purchased by Secure Energy Additions.

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