The Shop in The Picture.
My father, Peter Mansfield, owned this shop from c1955. He was an electrician and refrigeration engineer. I can remember filling cans with paraffin for my father to deliver. My future husband says he only married me because my father had petrol pumps and he could get cheap petrol. As a child we lived with my granadparents Lilian and Frank Mansfield up Bakers Lane. My brother David died earlier this year. My grandparents had Jersey cows, Large White pigs, 6 goats and assorted fowl. I had a great childhood round the animals and travelled to market in Braintree in a Wolsley car with the boot full of produce from the stock.

RE: RE: The Shop in The Picture.
Hi, I am trying to find as much information about businesses in Felsted for 6 Heritage Trail Boards to be placed around Felsted. One will be at Argyll House and the other outsdie your dad's shop next to butchers which is now a Joseph's restaurant. If you are able to provide any information I will be most appreciated and so will those in FELSTED.
