On this page we'll make some attempt to list the businesses who have occupied the various premises on our main street over the years. We may of course fail miserably -
so maybe you can help ....
High Street 1822
major input from Derek hollingworth is acknowledged
The first number is the High Street address. (1981-93) are the opening & closing dates. (1981-) means it opened that year & still exists under that name. (1981-?) means it opened that year, but I don't know when it closed. (?-1981) means it closed that year & I haven't established yet when it opened. (-1961/70-) means it existed on this date or between these dates but also probably before & after. ( ? ) means it existed but I haven't a clue when. The plan is to get rid of all the question marks, but my wife says that won't get the kitchen finished......
High Street, 1953, from the editor's
slightly vertically challenged viewpoint.
George Ferrier's florist shop
is right behind him.
