Kelly's newsagents and the business next door (out of the picture) was a furniture removal company.
The shop set back from the road was run by the Kelly family in the 1960s. It was a newsagents. My mum and my aunt worked there. I was friends with their eldest daughter Gillian. There was another daughter called Susan and a son called Philip. They were a lovely family.
The building on the left was the Primary School Annexe. It had three classrooms and a large hall and outdoor toilets which were hideous in the winter time. In an attempt to keep the cisterns from icing up, storm lamps were hung up near the chain to give some warmth. Happy days. The head teacher in the 1960s was called Miss Watson and she lived in a detached house next door.
