A row of shops and I specifically remember one of them was a greengrocers with lots of little oranges stacked up outside. I'd love to find a picture of it! It was 80s/90s...

As soon as I read your description memories of my O'Penny set from childhood came flooding back!

How old are you and are you in the UK?

I think I might know what this is… Except the name! If it’s the same, my cousin had it too in the early to mid 90s (she’s now 37).

Row of joined shops - greengrocers, post office, that sort of thing. I possibly remember it having pastel colours and some cute, possibly slightly chunky dolls paired with it. Edited to add, it was slightly larger scale than you’d expect a toy like this to be. Chunkier plastic, but not a toddler-type chunky toy.

Im going to be googling madly now 🙄

Was it the songbird sweet shop /minimarket ? That had little boxes of oranges I think

Wondering if I’m perhaps remembering an early, 90s version of Fisher Price Sweets Street.
