Following owners were H. Parker and later Frederick Grout. The premises survived as a bakery up until 1915.
Then a greengrocers business was at this address up until 1938 when it became the Reliance Wireless Service (radio dealers). This business survived 67 years until it's closure in 2005.
From 1917 110 Elm Grove was a Drapers store ran by Mrs Hobden. The first mention of a Girl Guide’s shop was c.1958.
The earliest record I could find of this building being a public house was in 1885.
I always knew this shop as Betty’s. My Mum spent a lot of time chatting to Betty and her husband whilst I stood with her in the shop watching Betty’s husband slice meat with a meat slicing machine.
