Gloziers shop in the high Street opposite the Greyhound pub. Did we loose another historic building when this old house was demolished and replaced by the estate agents. Now we have destroyed the old chapel just around the corner, will we ever learn?

I only had a haircut once but the sweet shop was the first stop after every school-day. Great memories. Philbra.
Remember
Tilf' Glozier's shop very well (opposite to my Grandparents butchers
shop - (Claude 'Tom' King). Glozier's shop used to have a couple of
chewing gum machines on the outside wall which were 3d a go. ! had my
hair cut there a few times - Tilf used to employ another old boy Cecil
to do the haircutting in a front room off the side of the shop - Cecil
always had a fag on the go (wouldn't be allowed these days ) . I might
be doing him an injustice but it seemed he could only do 'short back
and sides' !!! Peter R
