During the 1970s and 80s this was the Candy Box sweet shop, just across the road from Elm Grove school.

Known to most of us as Homewoods Store. Homewoods set up shop here in 1936.

At the corner with Totland Road. Built c.1906, this shop started life as Wright’s confectioners.

Built c.1906. This shop has been a grocers store from the very beginning and is still a grocers shop 109 years later, (as of 2015).

Just above the corner of Bernard Road. As a child during the late 60s and 70s I knew this as Moons the Barbers.

This is on the corner of Bernard Road. The earliest record I could find here was 1907 when the newsagents business was run by E. J Abel.
