It was taken over by A.E.Voke in 1920 and by 1928 by B. Wileman. George Knight had his butchers business here from the late 1930s until the mid 1960s.

From around 1966 this building was E.F.Huggett's bookmakers. It was later taken over by Ladbrokes. Ladbrokes relocated from here sometime during the 1970s to the corner of Totland Road and these premises became a sweet shop owned by John Marshall. I remember us going into this sweetshop often during the late 1970s and early 1980s.

I'm not sure when this shop closed but it has been empty for many, many years.

Also known as: Ladbrokes, John Marshall’s sweetshop.
