Edwin John Hollingworth rented his nursery site beside the Market Field from the Knipe estate, owners of The Grange. He was a fruiterer and florist selling from his shop sited where the Post Office is today (2018) and would be the man to go and talk to for gardening advice between the Wars. Clearly a knowledgeable man, he was often invited to lecture at meetings of the Horticultural Society, and was an authority on the use of pesticides available at the time.
