I need to research this more but from what I remember there was a fire that destroyed it during the 1970s.
86 Elm Grove
It seems that 86 Elm Grove was a private residence up until c.1929 when it became Warren Farm Dairies.
Bonchurch Road
This row of housing built c.1980s replaced the Sunny Bank Laundry.

Elm Grove – The Candy Box
During the 1970s and 80s this was the Candy Box sweet shop, just across the road from Elm Grove school.
78 Elm Grove
The earliest record I could find for this address was in 1869, when it was a bakery run by a W.G Piper.
176 Elm Grove/ corner of Baxter Street
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.

I think I sent you photos of the fire Carol …do you still have them?
Half of it was Sunny Bank and the other half was spectacle frame factory.
