This photograph taken around 1900, reveals a shop standing next to The Grange on the right-hand-side. This is the home and business of Thomas Kelsey, a high-class provisions merchant and purveyor of Gilbeys wines and spirits. Kelsey was also the local agent for the ‘Phoenix Fire Office,’ a venerable institution, in the business of selling assurance according to The Times, since 1680.
