Note the sign up on the corner of the shop, advertising Lyons Cakes. The shops are long gone and so are the chimneys and Eskimart is now next door. The main part of that shop was a slaughter house used by Bill Bridge who had a butcher’s shop on the “Pike”, the corner of New Road and Coleford Road".
