I need to research this more but from what I remember there was a fire that destroyed it during the 1970s.

About the Photographer:
See more of my photos of the Elm Grove area:
74 & 76 Elm Grove
C. 1922 74 Elm Grove became Harry Ernest Taylor’s chemist, whilst number 76 (the corner) was trading as a grocers for many years previous to this.
201 Elm Grove
Built c.1906. This shop has been a grocers store from the very beginning and is still a grocers shop 109 years later, (as of 2015).
36 Elm Grove
From c.1954 this was Mrs Ayling’s wool store. When I was around 10 years old I learnt to crochet, and I often visited here in the 1970s.

I think I sent you photos of the fire Carol …do you still have them?
Half of it was Sunny Bank and the other half was spectacle frame factory.
