Mr Hawkins had only just taken over the grocery business from Mr Laurence S Barrow, who was there in 1953.

Before the Second World War, in 1935, it had been a general shop run by Mrs Elizabeth John.

On the corner opposite Mr Hawkin's shop in the 1950s was Frank E Rossiter, ironmonger.  In 1935 it had been a hardware store run by Mr John Penfound.
