I remember this shop. it was an aladins cave when i was a wee lad

A photograph of the grocers shop near to the junction with Station Rd.. The photo. was taken in 1894,
it is now the Hairdresser's.  i remember in the 1950's it was Mr. Ravens grocery shop. He keep sugar,flour and tapioca in sacks on the floor, butter was in square blocks on the counter, the cheese was cut from a large round cheese with a wire and the bacon and ham on a revolving slicer. Currants and sugar were packed in little blue bags.
 Before the Ravens , the shop had been owned by Mr.Jimmy Moore and his brother.
