George Masons Employees
A Memory of Rugeley.
My dad informs me that my grandad ran George Mason's in Rugeley for many years. His name was Thomas Parsons and he lived in a large house with my nan, Lillian along the Armitage Road opposite the Brereton park by Thorn. A well known, well respected local gent, he had served in the war but came home after suffering a schrapnel wound. He died in 1983 and is at rest in the Wolseley Road churchyard. I was 3 when he died but I guess he would be very sad at the state of Rugeley as it is today. George Mason's became a video shop in the 1990s, then a shoe shop and is now a Cantonese restaurant. My nan (on mum's side) used to shop for hours at Yvonne's boutique on the left hand corner of the row here. I used to sit in there bored while she had a cup of tea and a chat!
