Briefly for a day or so in January 2015, the old signage for A Cut Above hairdressers business was visible.
A Cut Above started business here during the 1970s sometime. I recall going here as a child. Before this though, it was Clarkes the Bakers. It must have been on my trips with my Mum to take my brother to school at Elm Grove that I remember going into Clarkes bakers. I recall the counter being along the back wall.
124 Elm Grove had been a bakers for most of its years. Before Clarkes bakers during the 1960s it was Gigins the bakers. Gigins started business here c.1927 up until the late 1950s. Previous to this the Roberts family had their bakers business here from c.1905 up until 1926.
This shop has been boarded up for many years but now being renovated and to become a coffee shop. Much to the joy of the parents of children at Elm Grove school.
