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. 

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.

From the beginning of the 1900s this building was a tobacconist and confectioners ran by the Smallwood family.

64 Elm Grove was a fishmongers around 1908. It was run by H Sherin up until c.1914 when Herbert Peters took over and ran his fishmongers business until c.1926.

C. 1922 74 Elm Grove became Harry Ernest Taylor’s chemist, whilst number 76 (the corner) was trading as a grocers for many years previous to this.

The earliest record I could find for this address was in 1869, when it was a bakery run by a W.G Piper.
