More about this scene

The shop (centre) was owned by W A Leeks, who had the new house (right) built in 1965. The shop traded under the same name even though it was owned by Tony Green from 1971. He sold the shop to the Stowmarket Co-op in 1975 and retained the post office. The Ipswich Co- op built a new store, which masks the right side of the buildings.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
