theres a great place in romford that does. If youre ever near there, its in the mall (its easy to find, right by a roundabout by Asda). On one of the floors (theres only two and there really small) there is a sweet shop that sells old fashioned sweets. Some modern as well, but mostly the old fashioned ones. Im sorry i cant remember what it is called but just ask, im sure there will be someone who knows.

there is a shop in romford essex that has over 300 jars of the old fashioned sweets. Also all of the items you have mentioned. It is a fantastic shop but cost a fortune every time you go in because all the old memories come flooding back and you just have to buy loads.

There are no doubt loads of places where you can buy them, but the last time I saw them on sale was on a stall in New Addington market. (No.1 tram from E.Croydon or Wimbledon)

Carr farm, Meols, Wirral, Merseyside. They stock that kind of stuff. But not Old English spangles though )-:

I'm old enough to think of the fourties/fifties as old fashioned, the 70s are NOT old fashioned - are they?
