Village Shop

Headley Parade c1955
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

My partner Tim and I have owned this shop since 1999. This has been a family busines for 12 years with our daughter Amanda helping us.

This was originally the "paper shop" which is how many older resdents of the village still refer to it however over the years it has been extended and is now a "village shop" and in fact is the last shop in the village (apart from the small one in the garage).

We have removed the side canopy and extended the fence but apart from that
the front of the building has changed very little over the years (which cannot be said for the surrounding area)

We have had many memorable moments; the heavy snow we had two years ago being one of them as the village was completely cut off - we have never seen our shelves so empty or the shop so full of customers!

We have been privelidged to serve our community for the last 12 years.
