It wasn't until the late 1940's that Harry Ernest Taylor took over the corner premises also. Taylor's chemist survived up until the late 1960s when it became Gower's chemist. Taylor's also had a chemist on the west corner of Cromwell Street which I have a vague memory of when I was very small.

Originally the doorway was at the corner and there were steps leading down inside the shop.

After Gower's, Colin Gardiner ran the chemist for many years up until earlier this year (2015). Sorely missed by many customers.

For a very brief moment (on 25.9.15) Taylor's fascia was revealed during it's conversion into Kamson's Chemist. I managed to get a couple of photos before the builder covered it over again, no doubt for many more years to come.
