The Parade Of Shops
A Memory of Burgh Heath.
The first shop with the lattice windows was a café. Before this but separated by an alley way was Mr Green, the Butchers. There was sawdust all over the floor and just under the cashier's porthole at the back of the shop was a large 7ld brass weight which as a child I enjoyed trying to lift. The shop next to the café going up the parade was the Post office, the next a Chemist with baby weighing scales and large coloured glass bottles, the next, the Doctor's surgery, [Dr Smallshaw] the next a white painted house with a green front door, then a greengrocer and florist shop. Two new shops were added in the fifties/ early sixties, and one displayed road traffic signs made in plastic.
