By 1912 Frederick Smallwood, a carpenter born in Shoreham, was running a newsagents business here along with his wife Ellen. They were at this address until 1937. Previous to this address they had their shop at the corner of Brading Road at number 167.
From 1938 the shop was owned by Stephen Devereux. It was Devereux's up until the early 1960s when Clifford took over. Clifford ran this and two other newsagents from what I can recall. I saw him last year going into the newsagents so I guess he is still involved in some way. At one time, probably before Stephen Devereux took over, my Great Grandparents considered buying the shop. That never happened.
