More about this scene
What a pity that F Sole went in for being a family butcher when the name would have better suited a fishmonger! The Ford 8 van parked opposite this shop has white- painted mudguards; this testifies to a wartime need for it to be seen by fellow motorists and pedestrians during the blackout.

Frederick Sole was my maternal grandfather - to find a photo of this era online is amazing. When he retired in his 70s the shop was taken over by one of his old 'Saturday boys' and is still in those safe hands now, so it feels as if my grandfather is still alive in spirit in 1 Market St.
