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 & it may still exist 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......
