Cadel Shop - Market Square

The shop in the middle of the picture with the two awnings (now the Nationwide building society) used to belong to my great grandmother Eva Cadel and was a wool and toy shop.  My Grandmother and Great Aunt ran it until 1971.  My grandmother Joan ran the toy side and my Great Aunt Mary ran the wool.  Many people still today tell me that their first pram/doll/train set came from the Cadel shop. Pictures such as these are very special and are a treasure.

I remember the toy store well. I still have a Match Box double decker that I bought there in 1955.

RE: RE: Cadel Shop - Market Square

I remember the shop being closer to the Market Square, this is where the NationWide is anyway.

The shop with the canopy was a fruit and veg shop up until I think the early 90's.

If I'm wrong, please correct me
