Some Shops and traders




Callabys shop was on the corner of Brothertoft Road and Granville Street and was closed in 1989 and turned into residential premises. A bit further down Granville Street, to the left of this picture, was Syd Guests barber shop which was actually the front room of his house.



The Co-op opened a butchery in Laughton Road in 1938, it backed up to the original grocery store that faced onto Argyle Street (which is now Fenland Fastenings).I also remember Mr. Lee who had another butchers shop in Laughton Road and Mr. Chester who had a General Store down there.



Simpson and Son had a House and Furnishers shop at 22 Market Place near the Still pub and, according to the advert below, sold prams as well.
