This row of shops, which stretches from Duncan Road to Toftwood Road, were built as two separate blocks. The shops changed hands a few times, but in 1965 they were – from left to right – (not in sight) Thomas H Shaw, Pork Butchers – (extreme left, just showing) Willis Oxley, Newsagent – Hubert Bell, Butcher – Peet’s, Ladies’ Outfitters – J Smith, Potpourri and Macduff, Fruit & Veg. I was more familiar with Hubert Bell’s as Shentalls Link
The shops are now listed as – from left to right – Flourish, Delivery Service – Baxters, Newsagents – Churchills, Dry Cleaners – HS Eyecare, Optometrists – Barnardo’s Store, Charity Shop – Present Moments, Gift Shop.
