Stephenson's Shop
In 1939 this shop was owned by Mr and Mrs Hodgson. They were relatives of Geoff Foster who still lives in the village. I last made a purchase from Annie Hodgson in 1948. I last saw the Hodgsons in 1952 on returning from service in Malaya. I love Holme and still make regular visits.

In the background is Holy Trinity Church, a most unusual building, which in the 1900s included a tobacconist, a bank, and two butchers' shops as component parts.
At the end of Middle Row stands the house and shop (1877) of George Bailye, tailor and hairdresser.
Mr Burden's shop and Post Office is the centre of village life. Here we see the local bobby returning to his beat—his cycle is parked under the signpost.
This somewhat featureless shopping centre has developed to the north of the Tally Ho pub and Tally Ho corner, which can be seen as a multi-gabled vista stopper in this photograph.
The Medical Hall (right) is a grandly named chemist's shop owned by one Mr Charles. Immediately next door is the building where the actress Sarah Siddons was born in 1755.
This has been a butcher's shop since c1847 and is now A J Parsons, a butcher's, fishmonger's and poulterer's.
Gardiner's Garage next door, now a dress shop, was originally a maltings.
Out to the left is the Vicarage Field shopping mall, while beyond the silver birch is the church hall extension opened in 1985.
As usual in those days, the village had its shop, and Brant Broughton also had its own petrol station, just the one pump selling Esso petrol.
Savage's and Burton's Menswear shop are on the right, and there is a cafe further up the street.
All else survives except the shop-in-a-shed. This is the frantically busy A330 and the wall on the right, to Holyport Lodge, has been moved back for road widening.
Built on the east side of the bridge in 1930, this was a Neo-Adam confection of shops with flats above.
Here we look along the High Street, where most of the houses and cottages survive on the left but only No 62, then an antique shop, on the right.
Two bus stops are opposite each other: one is outside the shop advertising Zebrite, a black lead used to clean iron grates and the ranges found in most cottages.
Houses here date from the early 19th century, and for shopping the Co-op (left) opened in 1867. Motor cars in this scene are from the same period as TV's Heartbeat, also set in the mid 1960s.
The village shop (right) was run by Pamela and Peter Mills, and his green Standard van is parked outside. Cross Farm is on the opposite corner (left), and the school is straight ahead.
The thatched dormer window has now been altered to match the other four, and the Alfresco Tearooms have replaced the shop with its fascinating display of old implements.
Inside there was space for 43 shops and over 100 stalls. In addition, a fish market offered 16 choice counters.
Shops and eating houses would be bustling. Excellent cakes were on sale from a nearby bakery and painted ladies in their bustles and boats would drape the verandah (where the garage is now).
This charming study shows the lower part of the High Street on a breezy summer's day.
Most of these shops had a long history. Spencer's the stationer's beyond Finkle Street sold postcards, perhaps including Frith's!
This was the shop of S A George, whose advertisement painted on the wall tells us that he offered an unusual assortment of services: he was a hairdresser who also sold tobacco, fishing
Most of the shops on the right have been demolished or modernised, and the double tram track (laid in 1913) is long gone.
