Dating back to c.1908 the first proprietor was J.E.Bissell. During the 1930s Mrs Lowe was the shopkeeper. She was here up until the 1960s. During the late 1960s it became Flair the Ladies Hairdressers, a place I remember being taken to as a little child.
I'm not sure when this closed. It was still there in 1972. Afterwards it was converted into the house we see today.
It seems that 86 Elm Grove was a private residence up until c.1929 when it became Warren Farm Dairies.
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.
During the 1970s and 80s this was the Candy Box sweet shop, just across the road from Elm Grove school.
For many years this building on the corner of Hartington Road and Brading Road was a newsagents.
