Nicola Barrett added (July 2008): "I'm Bill and Esme
English's daughter and lived at the grocery shop until I was about nine.
My Auntie Mable ran a haberdashery's type shop. I think we might have been
a bit further up the road just round the corner. I think there was an
other clothes shop called 'Cullises'( spelt wrong Im sure) There was a chip
shop up that end somewhere".
