The Granary

Church Road 1906

My grandfather Herbert Allen owned that building for a while - around 1920's I think - it was run for him by Denis Eaton. Dennis eventually became his son in law - he married Sylvia the 2nd youngest of 5 Allen girls - who only passed away about 4 years ago now. It was I thought called The Granary before it was turned into a house - could be wrong. My Aunt always referred to it as The Granary when talking about her husband running it. I think/assume they sold animal feeds and tools and such like - but not entirely sure. Perhaps someone else knows.
