Top of Our Road
I remember this parade of shops being built. Left to right was Ely's the greengrocers, next door was Mr Hill the butchers, then Humphries the grocer and then Ashworths the chemists. A little further on to the right was Schearers the bakers. Ely's was later owned by Jack Curtain, Humphries Store, Mr Palmer, and Ashworths Chemist Mr Webb. I believe Mr Hill had the butchers shop until the late 1940's. Schearers the bakers was later owned by Mrs Bury and renamed Binfield Bakery, after the road on whose corner it was sited.
