The High Street in 1950 and 2004
Barclays Bank is now World Class
Homes. Next door was the Chemist shop (originally Spatman and later
Busby) moved to the end of the Mill. Barclays then had the shop for
an extension and its cash point. Next was a drapers and has become a Fish and Chip
shop. Mrs. Pateman's Greengrocer shop was next but this is now
empty. On the end of these buildings was a Café which used to be
White's - it is now a Ladies Hairdresser.
The old Vauxhall was outside Mrs. Collins
shop and the Petrol pump was still there. Next to this is what used
to be Pearce's Paper shop and when Mrs Pearce ran it (at the time of the
1950 photo) it was called Willis.
There is a Telephone Box next and also the
Bus Shelter. To the right, just hidden by the Mill is a building
which is now an Estate Agents. |
