The Heather family ran this store up until the 1940s when it became Hartley's Stores ran by H.H & M.E Hartley. They were only here a short time before it was taken over by J.H.Woods. The store changed hands a few times after this before finally becoming a hairdressers. It seems to still exist as a hairdressers but I have yet to see it open.
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.
The earliest record I could find for this address was in 1869, when it was a bakery run by a W.G Piper.
64 Elm Grove was a fishmongers around 1908. It was run by H Sherin up until c.1914 when Herbert Peters took over and ran his fishmongers business until c.1926.
