Further down East Street there used to be a little sweet shop, if I remember it was called (or known as by us school evacuees), 'Miss Mays'. It was a 'tuck shop' for us as we used to run down a path from near the school to get there and spend our 'penny'.
I have returned many times since I was living at Upper Chidden Farm, though the farm has changed hands of course. I was still made welcome and taken into the farmhouse to see the changes. I spent a wonderful time in this area
