The Grange & Kelsey Grocers Shop. Opposite stands Winterton House in the early 1900s
This view looking west down the High Street has a dream-like quality to it, without a soul about. The photograph is badly stained giving a fog-like look with a gloomy sky, but it was actually taken mid afternoon on a sunny day as revealed by the shadows on the facade of Winterton House on the left.
On the right, next door to The Grange, stands Robert Kelsey’s high-class grocer’s shop which was to remain a prestige establishment into living memory when it had gone through two other proprietors before becoming ‘Collin’s Stores, High-Class Grocer and Provision Merchant’, described by several local residents as being “…where the posh people shopped”
